Landscape photography is a timeless genre that captures the beauty and grandeur of the natural world, but in a field with such a rich history, standing out is key. Drawing inspiration from centuries of artistic expression, the most compelling landscape images often come from those who dare to see differently—who break the rules, challenge conventions, and bring a fresh perspective to familiar scenes. Just as the great artists of the past redefined their mediums, modern landscape photographers can push boundaries to create work that is not only beautiful but truly original.
NOTE: If you are submitting a seascape, make sure it has a landmass in the image. Structures within your landscape are ok, but don’t have the emphasis on the structure.
Remember, a theme is merely a tool for storytelling in your image—it should enhance the narrative, not be the sole focus. The theme itself is never the final goal; rather, it serves as a guide to help convey meaning and emotion.
