PSA, FIAP and RPS Nature Photography Definition
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 to 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 to the viewer. Color images can be converted to greyscale monochrome.
Infrared images, either direct-captures or derivations, are not allowed.
Images used in Nature Photography competitions may be divided in two classes: Nature
and Wildlife.
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.
Images entered in Wildlife sections meeting the Nature Photography Definition above are
further defined as one or more extant zoological or botanical organisms free and unrestrained
in a natural or adopted habitat. Landscapes, geologic formations, photographs of zoo or game
farm animals, or of any extant zoological or botanical species taken under controlled conditions
are not eligible in Wildlife sections. Wildlife is
not limited to animals, birds or insects. Marine subjects and botanical subjects (including fungi
and algae) taken in the wild are suitable wildlife subjects, as are carcasses of extant species.
Wildlife images may be entered in Nature Sections of International Exhibitions.
PSA Monochrome Photography Definition
"A monochrome image is defined as having varying shades of no more than one color (various
shades of that color from very light to very dark) but it may be any single color. Multi-toned
images (various shades of two or more colors) and greyscale images with an added accent color
are not acceptable in Monochrome Class sections and must be entered in Color Class sections."
FIAP Definition of the black and white photography (monochrome)
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 colour 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 colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category;
such a work requires colour reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.
PSA Photo Travel Definition:
A Photo Travel image must express the feeling of a time and place, and portray a land, its
distinctive features or culture in its natural state. There are no geographical limitations. Closeup pictures of people or objects must include distinguishable environment. Techniques that add
to, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not
permitted. All adjustments must appear natural. Conversion to full monochrome is acceptable.
Derivations, including infrared, are unacceptable.
