What is ACDSee’s Photographer Spotlight?
The Photographer Spotlight began as a way to give back to the photography community. We figured there’s no better way to do that than to send a lucky photographer to an inspiring locale and give them an opportunity to enhance their craft. The Photographer Spotlight contest shines a light on those who are behind the lens. So, tell us your story and continue doing what you do best – taking amazing photos!
