We’d love to see people go out and shoot new portraits specifically for this project but if you’ve already shot a great portrait of someone that fits the theme of “a moment of reflection”, you’ll just need to ask the subject to send you their answer to the question and make sure you have their permission to share their image here.

If you’re shooting a portrait specifically for this project you should ask the subject think of their answer while you shoot the photo! This will help the subject have a natural expression on their face and also give you an opportunity to snap a photo or two with their guard down.

Please make sure you include the following things with your submission:

1. Your photo (JPG format, 1200 px wide)
2. Your full name
3. Your subject’s first name
4. Your subject’s answer to the question (not looking for an essay!)
5. Your subject’s occupation
6. The location of the photo

Now we’ve been giving away some goodies to people just for submitting and we promised to give away everything in the photo above (Magic Hour snapback, camera strap, Diamond logo t-shirt, stickers) to one lucky person. That lucky person is photographer, Lane Coder, who submitted this stunning image below:

The person in the photograph is Alex, a professional MMA fighter. You can check out Alex’s advice to herself here.
