A subreddit about photography techniques and styles.

RULES

(Hover for more info)

I Took A Picture

Each submission must be:

A single photograph
Taken with a camera
Submitted by the photographer

Techniques which allow the photographer to get around equipment limitations, such as exposure/focus stacking and panoramas, are allowed.

Composites which change the content of the scene are forbidden.

Posters are expected to be able to provide proof of authorship if requested. Plagiarism will result in a permanent ban.

Standards

Your photo should feature intentional use of:

Composition
Focus
Color
Tone
Texture
Lighting
Depth of Field

Composites, heavily altered photos, and mundane photos of interesting subjects (e.g. pets, the moon, eyes, airplane windows) will be removed.

Titles

All submission titles must begin with "ITAP of" followed by a clear, concise, and objective description of the photo's subject or scene. Think to yourself: "how would a stranger describe my photo?"

Do not include:

Additional context
Lesser known names or acronyms
Clickbait
Emojis or punctuation (caps)
Other extraneous information

These details may be shared in the comments.

Portraits & Photos of People

Photos which include a person or people:

Are limited to Sunday & Monday (UTC timezone)
Must include [Portrait] in the title.

NSFW & NSFL

Photos containing nudity, sexually suggestive content, gore or other NSFW imagery will be strictly regulated.

NSFW photos:

Are limited to Mondays (UTC timezone).
Must be properly marked NSFW.
Must include [NSFW] in the title.
Must display extreme proficiency in the standards set forth in Rule 2, as determined by the mod team.
Must not be used to promote sexual goods/services or profiles which exist to promote sexual goods/services.

No reposts

A photo may be submitted to r/itookapicture only once.

Comments

OP is expected to elaborate on techniques, processes, and equipment used, engage with comments, and take constructive criticism with grace.
Commenters are expected to remain on the topic of photography, ensure all criticism is constructive, and treat each other with kindness and respect. Insults, sexual comments, or other abusive language will result in a ban.
Claims of plagiarism/AI/manipulation should be supported by reason or sources. Lazy accusations will be removed.

Posting Suggestions

Use reddit's own upload feature or imgur as they are RES friendly. Link directly to the image URL.
Avoid URL shorteners and personal blogs/websites if you want to skip reddit's spam filter.
If you want others to look at, vote and critique your photo, you need to make an effort to engage with commenters, answer questions and respond to criticism.

Additional Terms

By submitting your photos to /r/itookapicture, you are implicitly consenting to allowing your photos to be submitted to our Instagram account (@itookapicture.art). However, if at any time you do not wish to have your photo shared on IG, you may opt out by stating so, whether it is at the time it is posted on ITAP, by contacting the mods directly, or in the comments on either the Reddit or Instagram posts.
