I recently entered the Gurushots’ “Portrait of a Man” challenge with portraits of some of our village’s bearded faces, and beat some of the well-known names in photography – Alexander Sviridoff (Russia), Vass Lehel (Romania), Etienne Chalmet (Belgium), Flávio Souza Cruz (Brazil), Roland Hank (Germany) & Adam Butler (London, Great Britian).
(Gurushots is a platform where photographers compete against one another to win contests, increase in level, and earn valuable prizes. On top of that, members can join exhibition challenges and get a chance to showcase their work in galleries and photo fairs around the world.)
