#2 DIGITAL COMPETITION – CREATIVE LIGHT: Creative lighting in photography Involves manipulating light and shadow to set mood, add depth, and create drama using techniques like Rembrandt, butterfly, or split lighting for portraits, using household items for patterns, adding colored gels, creating lens flare or sunbursts, experimenting with hard vs. soft light, and using long exposures for light painting in dark environments. Controlling light direction, intensity, and color transforms flat images into artistic, dimensional photographs.

Submissions open: March 17 to April 10, 2026
