NVPS would like to welcome Steve Gottlieb as our judge for the May competition. The theme is “Street Photography” and submitted images must be taken recently within the last two years.
“For this theme, “street photography” is defined as a photograph featuring: 1) the human condition or 2) the relationship or interaction between people and their surroundings. A street photo example could be a candid, semi-candid or spontaneous (but not staged) photo of a person (or persons) in a public, private or open place doing something other than posing for you to take their picture.
Steve Gottlieb’s images—from architecture to people to landscapes—have been featured in Shutterbug,Popular Photography, American Photo, Rangefinder, and Photo District News, among many others.
