September photography competition "lifestyle"

[Peter_S.]

The start of a new month can only mean one thing – the start of a new Sony World Photography Awards competition!

August’s competition focused on action photography, and we could barely believe the superb quality of some of the photos that were submitted! Despite all the amazing photos, we could only reward a few of you, and you can check out each of the winning photos over on the winners’ blog.

This month, we’re focusing on lifestyle photography. This kind of photography is great because the possibilities are almost endless – you can go out on the street and photograph something completely different every single day – and you can be as creative or as traditional as you like with the way you take your photos.

The prize for this month is an incredible QX100 camera. So what are you waiting for? Time to leave the house and shoot that prize-winning photograph. Click the link below to enter, and good luck!
