Submit a contemporary collection of images that convey a compelling narrative. While a single image has a narrative in itself and can be strong in isolation, Viewbook Photostory’s focus is specifically on showing series of images, in a well-chosen sequence that triggers a reaction and combines a narrative with photographic excellence.
Categories:
- Documentary photography
We like to see contemporary photographic narratives and essays that tell us what is going on with us and our planet. Unveil real world phenomena, people, issues and cultures. Photo narratives that marvel or confront us. In this category we are searching for the finest contemporary photojournalism. - Conceptual photography
It is about free artistic expression, about everything that is made up of idea’s, concepts, stage, make-believe.
