Here the definition of product is as far ranging as the photographer wants to make it, with subjects ranging from cars through to food or packaging being equally eligible, while the brief could be a commercial one or self set.
Architecture:
With every type of building from the grand through to the humble being open to photographers, we’re looking for an imaginative interpretation of the architectural theme.
General:
This is the category that gives you full rein to enter cherished images that don’t necessarily fit neatly into any of the other categories that have been listed here.
