The PHOTO MODE AWARDS includes six categories – PEOPLE, ARCHITECTURE, ACTION, CLOSE UP, INDIE and NATURE.
This style of photography is all about trying to capture the personality, expressions, and emotions/connections of an individual (person or fantasy) or group individuals by utilizing the background atmosphere, poses, and lighting.
Architecture photography generally means photography that focuses on buildings, structures, and urban/fantasy environments, showcasing creativity in composition and design. It can include shooting building exteriors and interiors, as well as bridges, other structures, and cityscapes.
Captures will contain a high intensity scene with dynamic moments, showcasing movement, energy, and vitality in various contexts, from sports to a fight scene.
The Close Up category focuses on capturing detailed and intimate shots of a subject. This type of photography allows for a deeper exploration of texture, and fine details.
This category focuses on the unique and visually stunning worlds crafted by independent game developers.
Nature photography is focused on elements of the outdoors. Specific subjects may include landscapes, wildlife, flora, and other elements of the environment.
Each participant is allowed to submit one (1) photo per Category. For more info on how to enter, check our FAQ.
