Competition Details

F-Stop Magazine is excited to announce Issue #133 will focus on Environmental Portraits! We are seeking compelling portrait photography that tells a story about individuals or groups of people within their work, home, or leisure environments. Your submissions should offer insightful glimpses into your subjects’ personalities or lives.

For this call for entries, we especially encourage photographs that feature more than one person. We’re keen to see images that highlight the dynamics, relationships, and shared stories of multiple individuals interacting within a specific environment.

Show us how your lens captures the essence of human connection and personal narratives through the power of environmental portraiture.
