Explore our three main photography categories and learn what makes each one unique.
Nature photography focuses on capturing the beauty of the natural world, including landscapes, plants, skies, and outdoor scenery. This category may include photos of forests, mountains, lakes, flowers, sunsets, or weather conditions. Photographers are encouraged to pay attention to lighting, composition, and natural details when submitting images. Nature photography allows members to express creativity while showcasing the environment around them.
Wildlife photography features animals photographed in their natural habitats. This includes birds, mammals, insects, and other wildlife captured respectfully and without disturbing the animals. Submissions should show animals behaving naturally and safely in the wild. This category encourages patience, observation, and appreciation for wildlife and nature conservation.
Portrait photography focuses on capturing people and showing their personality or emotion through a photograph. This category may include posed portraits or more natural, candid images. Lighting, background, and expression all play an important role in creating a strong portrait. Portrait photography allows photographers to tell a story about their subject through a single image.
