Définition of Color Photography
All techniques are allowed. Creativity is allowed in this category.
Definition of Black and White Photography (Monochrome)
A black and white work ranging from very dark gray (black) to very light gray (white) is a monochrome work with different shades of gray. A black and white work turned entirely in a single color will remain a monochrome work that can be included in the black and white category; such a work can be reproduced in black and white in the catalogue of a trade fair under FIAP Patronage. On the other hand, a black and white work modified by a partial turn or the addition of a color becomes a color work (polychrome) that must be included in the color category; such a work requires a colour reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.
Definition of Focus on the World
PhotographyDefinition of "Focusing on the World" As with travel and tourism photography, this section encompasses the full range of photographic genres of architecture, culture, events, gastronomy, landscape, portraits, etc. A "Focus on the World" image expresses the spirit of an era, the essence of a place or culture, whether it is shown in an authentic scene or arranged. Digital manipulation to optimize an image in terms of fine-tuning levels and colors is allowed as long as the image looks natural. The same goes for the removal of dust or digital noise. Techniques that add, move, replace, or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not permitted.
