Definition:
For the Portrait Competition, CAPA is adopting this definition established by the Federation International of Photographic Art (FIAP): "A photograph of a person or persons that may range from a head study to full body length. This section includes candid photographs and formal portraits."
Street photography images are permitted within the scope of this competition and no 'model release' is required provided that the image was taken in a public place, displays an unmanipulated scene and is not deemed as a violation of an individual's privacy. However, a 'model release' is required when you are using controlled lighting conditions, backdrops and poses - in a public or private setting. If you are photographing children under the age of 18 years, it would be advisable to obtain a 'model release' signed the appropriate parent or guardian.

All in-camera, on-camera and post-processing techniques can be used. This includes combining multiple images and elements in a final image. However, all components of the final image must have been taken by the Entrant.
