TIPA camerAmore Contest: Share your Photo Gear Passion

The camerAmore is the photo contest focusing on photographic equipment and the photographer’s relationship with it.

Categories

• The Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) awards the best photos of photographic equipment in three categories:
  • My Camera and I
    • Think “camera selfie.” A self-portrait with camera in hand. Use reflective surfaces or even set another camera on a tripod or surface and use a self-timer with just you and your camera as the subjects. Can also be a beauty shot of a unique piece of gear.
  • My camera in action
    • They are looking for photos showing photographers and their camera at work. Think context (sports event, nature walk, studio setup), accessories like a tripod and flash, special use of lenses, and interesting positioning you might use to get a great angle of view.
  • What’s in my camera bag
    • Clever and artistic arrangements of cameras, lenses, accessories, filters, even film. Show off what you might carry into the field for nature work, sports work, even astrophotography. Can be inside the bag or arrayed around it. Pay attention to lighting and depth of field.
