Portrait(s)
« Face to face ! »
From February 24 to April 24 2016
Approach you subject, face to face : question his identity and capture his mindset. Treat him in whatever manner you find appropriate. Play with distances, bring out his traits with a neutral background, try and match the scenery with his personality. Behind a face, there are so many tales to tell and countless ways to tell them.
Ready, set, portrait ! The jury -comprised of representatives of the city of Vichy, organisers of the Portrait(s) festival, the Wipplay team and Daphné Angles (NY Times)- will select the 3 winners. Only series consisting of at least 10 images will be eligible for the 1st prize.For additional information, please check the guidelines.

Portrait(s)
The city of Vichy steps into the world of photography with the 2020 edition of "Portrait(s)", an international exhibition and photographic meet-up, the only one in France to focus exclusively on the art of the portrait.
Presenting an entire spectrum of different ways of seeing, it celebrates the portrait in its every form, the most classical to the most trendy, building on both traditions of documentary type of photography and more conceptual or fictional schemes, and thus offering a splendid group of exhibitions that are both demanding and mainstream.
