“What does a portrait look like in the 21st Century? Today everyone with a smartphone is a photographer, and many young people are taking hundreds of selfies a week, and more people seem interested in analog photography and alternative processes dating back to the 1800’s.
Portrait photographers James Payne (American Portraits) and Michael Rababy (American Bachelor) would like to see your creative version of the modern portrait (shot after 2000)”.
