All About Photo Magazine Posts International Portrait Contest Winners

All About Photo magazine has held 24 international portrait contests. The prize winners and merit finalists were recently posted on its website. If you are curious how photographers around the world are making portraits, this may be a good place to look for inspiration. The magazine has the images on paper, if you prefer that format.

Below is a Merit Gallery image by a photographer whose deafness caused him to pay much closer attention to faces, which furthered his photographic work.
