FIAP AND PSA DEFINITIONS
All entries shall conform to the stricter of
these definitions for acceptances to be
validated by all the International
Organizations granting recognition or
patronage. FIAP Definitions
FIAP Definition of the Black and White
Photography (monochrome)
FIAP Definition of the Black and White
Photography (monochrome) This definition
supersedes the Document 223 and the INFO
1991/12.A black and white work fitting from
the very dark grey (black) to the very clear
grey (white) is a monochrome work with the
various shades of grey. A black and white
work toned entirely in a single color will
remain a monochrome work able to stand in
the black and white category; such a work
can be reproduced in black and white in the
catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.
On the other hand a black and white work
modified by a partial toning or by the
addition of one color becomes a color work
(polychrome) to stand in the color category;
such a work requires color reproduction in
the catalogue of a salon under FIAP
Patronage.
PSA, FIAP, and RPS Nature Definition as of 1
January 2015
Nature photography is restricted to the use
of the photographic process to depict all
branches of natural history, except
anthropology and archeology, in such a
fashion that a well-informed person will be
able to identify the subject material and
certify its honest presentation. The story
telling value of a photograph must be
weighed more than the pictorial quality
while maintaining high technical quality.
Human elements shall not be present, except
where those human elements are integral
parts of the nature story such as nature
subjects, like barn owls or storks, adapted
to an environment modified by humans, or
where those human elements are in situations
depicting natural forces, like hurricanes or
tidal waves. Scientific bands, scientific
tags or radio collars on wild animals are
permissible. Photographs of human created
hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral
animals, domestic animals, or mounted
specimens are ineligible, as is any form of
manipulation that alters the truth of the
photographic statement. No techniques that
add, relocate, replace, or remove pictorial
elements except by cropping are permitted.
Techniques that enhance the presentation of
the photograph without changing the nature
story or the pictorial content, or without
altering the content of the original scene,
are permitted including HDR, focus stacking
and dodging/burning. Techniques that remove
elements added by the camera, such as dust
spots, digital noise, and film scratches,
are allowed. Stitched images are not
permitted. All allowed adjustments must
appear natural. Color images can be
converted to greyscale monochrome. Infrared
images, either direct captures or
derivations, are not allowed.
Images entered in Nature sections meeting
the Nature Photography Definition above can
have landscapes, geologic formations,
weather phenomena, and extant organisms as
the primary subject matter. This includes
images taken with the subjects in controlled
conditions, such as zoos, game farms,
botanical gardens, aquariums and any
enclosure where the subjects are totally
dependent on man for food.
PSA Definitions
General:
Entries must originate as photographs
(image-capture of objects via light
sensitivity) made by the entrant on
photographic emulsion or acquired digitally.
By virtue of submitting an entry, the
entrant certifies the work as his/her own
and permits the sponsors to reproduce all or
part of the entered material free of charge
for publication and / or display in media
related to the exhibition. This may include
low resolution posting on a website. The
exhibition assumes no liability for any
misuse of copyright.
Monochrome:
An image is considered to be Monochrome only
if it gives the impression of having no
color (i.e. contains only shades of gray
which can include pure black and pure white)
OR it gives the impression of being a
grayscale image that has been toned in one
color across the entire image. (For example
by Sepia, red, gold, etc.)
A grayscale or multi-colored image modified
or giving the impression of having been
modified by partial toning, multi toning or
by the inclusion of spot coloring does not
meet the definition of monochrome and shall
be classified as a Color Work. |
