Photography Categories
Choose the best category that fits your photo submission.
Nature Photography
The Nature category focuses on the beauty of the natural world. This includes landscapes, wildlife, plants, weather, underwater scenes, and anything that captures the environment in its purest form. Great nature photos often show unique lighting, dramatic skies, or moments that highlight patterns and colors found outdoors. While editing is allowed, submissions should remain realistic and true to the natural environment. Members are encouraged to explore parks, lakes, forests, gardens, and even their own neighborhoods to capture the world around them. Whether it’s a sunset over a field, a squirrel on a tree branch, or waves crashing on a shoreline, the goal of this category is to showcase the beauty and creativity found in the untouched world.
Street Photography
Street Photography captures everyday life in public places. This category includes candid moments, architecture, people walking through the city, interesting reflections, traffic, night scenes, and the overall feeling of being out in the streets. These photos often tell a story, showing emotion, movement, or atmosphere. Good street photos don’t need to be complicated—they just need to capture a moment that feels real. Submissions can be taken in busy cities, quiet neighborhoods, markets, or even inside public buildings like cafés or malls. The focus should be on timing, composition, and creativity. This category celebrates the energy of everyday life and encourages photographers to look for moments that others might overlook.
Food Photography
The Food category highlights meals, snacks, drinks, desserts, and anything edible that tells a story or looks visually appealing. These photos can be taken in restaurants, at home, during celebrations, or even outdoors at events like festivals or picnics. Good food photography focuses on color, lighting, texture, and presentation. Members should aim for clean plates, sharp focus, and composition that makes the viewer want to taste the dish. Submissions can be simple, like a cup of coffee by a window, or more complex, such as a full dinner setup. This category encourages creativity through angles, props, and styling. The goal is to make your dish look as delicious and eye-catching as possible.
