The Benefits Of Entering Photography Competitions. It’s not about entering to compete against other photographers. It’s not even for the trophies (even though the trophies and accolades are nice). The greatest benefit of entering is the drive to push yourself creatively, and continually be inspired by other photographers. Additionally, the advice and feedback from judges – which isn’t always easy to hear at first – when taken on board, is always educational. These opportunities to have your work judged and critiqued by leaders in our industry is invaluable. It will play a significant role in your professional development. Peer critique is important to help you to know whether you are producing the high level of work that our clients deserve, and if not, identifies areas for improvement. No matter what your experience level, there will always more to learn, to help us continue to improve and evolve as photographers. . . . #portrait #portraitphotography #riseawards #awards #photocompetition #internationalphotographycompetition #photographycompetition #photoawards
