Localised Perspectives - Creative Trends 2022
Hosted byYour Mission
The purpose of this brief is to bring our global community of creatives together. Think of it as us wanting to get to know your world through your high-quality photographic art. Only you can tell us what your surroundings are, and so we entrust you with the power to shape what we see.
Show us what life is like for you. What are your experiences like today compared to how they may have been ten years ago, or how they will be in ten years time?
Capture the today and capture the now.
Human stories are culturally-specific and multifaceted, with the power to forge real connections when told from unique points of view. Truly inclusive representation sensitively portrays – and actively involves – local communities with individual perspectives, and that’s exactly what you can get when the photography stems directly from the communities.
We hand over the baton to you in order to enrich our purview of the world. It is about growing and offering brands a real and authentic representation of your environment. As artists, you are capable of shaping our view of the world, by providing photography that reflects true moments captured in your local perspective. We are asking you to provide photos that showcase unique perspectives, clear points of views and show us real moments.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
