The following definitions now apply following the changes agreed upon at the club AGM 2010.

 

 

Natural History Definition

 

Depict observations from any branch of natural history except Anthropology (study of Humanity!)  and Archaeology.

 

Human elements should not be present unless they enhance the nature story and are unobtrusive.

 

Photographs of artificially produced hybrid plants or animals, mounted specimens, obviously set arrangements, derivations, or any form of photographic manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement are ineligible, with the exception of  detailed micro or macro photographs and scientific banding on wild animals.

 

 

Portrait Definition

 

            A Portrait is defined as:-

 

            a) An image in which the intent is to display the likeness,

               personality, mood and emotions of the subject or group of subjects.

 

            b) An image in which the intent is to display an emphasis on lifestyle,

               clothing and accessories of the subject or group of subjects.

 

c) An image in which the intent is to display the subject or subjects with an     

    emphasis on beauty and sensuality.

 

 

            These definitions overlap and are open to artistic interpretations.

 

            Every effort should be made to use the highest level of artistic skill.

 

            Environmental portraits as well as studio portraits are acceptable.
