Black Background 2018 - Photography Contest [34 entries]

Dancer in Low Key Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
60.6%
Contest goal:

There are many elements that go into making a good photo... the subject, focus, composition, background and others. This contest is going to emphasize an often neglected aspect of photography, the background. Backgrounds can be used to compliment the entire result, or to draw attention to certain aspects of the subject. Some backgrounds can even be distracting and lower viewers' opinions.

This contest will emphasize a background which draws attention to the subject. You have to take a picture of static object (fruits, plants,... etc.) on an entirely black background. The only colors should be that of the subject, and the solid black background. A little post editing on the 'Background Only' is allowed, but the shot should have been taken on a black background in the first place, so the post edit should be levels contrast curves etc.....no more!


Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

Howdie stranger!
