COMPETITION
Your chance to enter the UK’s most prestigious com petition for amateur photographers
Round one Black & White
A black & white picture has a certain something that a colour photo simply can’t emulate, and the pursuit of a great monochrome picture is something many photographers devote their whole lives to. The joy of this category is that it is completely open – any subject goes, as the medium is equally stunning whether you shoot landscapes, portraits or street photography. It’s always worth shooting with a conversion to black & white in mind – don’t make it an afterthought.
Your guest judge
Your guest judge for Round One is Aneesa Dawoojee. Winner of AP’s Power of Photography award in 2023, the portrait and social documentary photographer is from south London. Her images aim to break stereotypes, celebrate community and initiate social discussion with historical references. She has been published in Portrait of Humanity volumes 4 and 5, is an associate lecturer and a Fellow of the RPS. aneesadawoojee.com
