With just over a month to go until the Sigma D-Photo Amateur Photographer of the Year competition closes, we're now letting you in on what you're in to win!

Have a look at our latest batch of stunning entries — and with nearly 2,500 images entered so far, this is definitely just the tip of the iceberg.

Returning for its second year is Wellington’s documentary photography festival, Photival, which is running 26–29 April.

The entries continue to stream in, and we continue to be impressed by the variety and skill of the images entered.

The Sigma D-Photo Amateur Photographer of the Year has been live just over a week, and already we’ve had a fantastic response with almost 900 images entered! 

Monash Gallery of Art (MGA)’s exhibition, Antipodean emanations: cameraless photographs from Australia and New Zealand, will bring together Australian and New Zealand artists who push boundaries through experimentation. They unearth the elemental properties of photographic practice by exploring the art of cameraless photography from a new perspective with 80 cameraless photographs.

The media will redefine modern masculinity this year — according to Getty Images’ 2018 Visual Trends. ‘Masculinity Undone’ is one of three trends the photo agency has identified as reshaping the visual language consumers will be most responsive to this year, alongside ‘Second Renaissance’ and ‘Conceptual Realism’.

Most photographers dream of making their passion line their pockets. But, in a fiercely competitive photographic market, in which anyone can buy a camera and call themselves a professional photographer, it’s not only experience, credibility and business acumen that set shooters apart — it's finding their niche.
