That is unless you\u2019re particularly adept at the exhausting admin of social media and self-promotion. One alternative is to enter your shots into a competition \u2013 a worthwhile endeavour indeed.<\/p>\n<p>But what if your images either don\u2019t win or don\u2019t make the shortlist? As can be the case with the vast majority of competitions, the images entered disappear into a secret database never to be seen again. Not so with a competition that goes by the name of One Million Photographers (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.onemillionphotographers.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.onemillionphotographers.com<\/a>), a platform open to both amateurs and professionals, and set up by Martin Kimchi, a former leveraged finance lawyer and current owner of a small property business. Once Martin switched careers from finance to property, he found he had more time to explore photography, particularly with the birth of his first child and his desire to document those precious early years.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_89398&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-89398 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Jamal-Al-Nablusi-Jordan.jpg\" alt=\"One-Million-Photographers-Jamal-Al-Nablusi-Jordan\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Jamal-Al-Nablusi-Jordan.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Jamal-Al-Nablusi-Jordan.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Jamal-Al-Nablusi-Jordan.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Jamal-Al-Nablusi-Jordan.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Jamal-Al-Nablusi-Jordan.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Jamal Al-Nabulsi (Jordan)<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>\u2018I was having a look around some of the big online photo competitions, considering a submission, and I noticed a common thread, which was that once uploaded, your image basically disappeared,\u2019 says Martin. \u2018You would get an acknowledgement and a thank you, but unless your image was shortlisted or among the winners, it was never going to be seen by anyone else. I\u2019m not saying there\u2019s anything wrong with that \u2013 and each contest has to decide how it goes about the huge task of judging, critiquing or filtering entries \u2013 but it did make me wonder if there could be a competition where every single entry is always on display. And that\u2019s really how One Million Photographers started, because when we enter a competition we want to see all the other entries just as much as we want our own entry to be seen by others.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_89393&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-89393 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Bonnie-Marquette-USA.jpg\" alt=\"One Million Photographers Bonnie-Marquette-USA\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Bonnie-Marquette-USA.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Bonnie-Marquette-USA.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Bonnie-Marquette-USA.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Bonnie-Marquette-USA.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Bonnie-Marquette-USA.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Bonnie Marquette (USA)<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>This is what Martin calls the gallery element of One Million Photographers, as each submission is assigned its own unique gallery coordinates, marking the space on the virtual walls where that image \u2018hangs\u2019.

The first page they are greeted with is a countdown timer with the days, hours, minutes and seconds rolling down to the competition closing date. Just below this is a cash total, which increases with every entry.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Against the backdrop of the mission to display every submission, we devised two further aspects to the competition to keep it interesting for our photographers,\u2019 says Martin. \u2018The first is the overall grand prize \u2013 this is a cash sum that increases each time an image is submitted [entries cost $8 with $1 going to a chosen charity] and is awarded to the highest scoring image as at the closing date. The current prize is around $8,700 and rising. Images accrue points from \u2018likes\u2019, ratings, optional downloads (meaning photographers can, if they wish, quickly earn their entry fee back) and from being selected as the editor\u2019s choice. There\u2019s a live countdown to the closing date on our homepage and every image is automatically in the running.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_89396&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-89396 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Lesley-Jo-Thompson-UK.jpg\" alt=\"One Million Photographers Lesley-Jo-Thompson-UK\" width=\"1000\" height=\"711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Lesley-Jo-Thompson-UK.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Lesley-Jo-Thompson-UK.jpg?resize=300,213 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Lesley-Jo-Thompson-UK.jpg?resize=563,400 563w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Lesley-Jo-Thompson-UK.jpg?resize=900,640 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Lesley-Jo-Thompson-UK.jpg?resize=562,400 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Lesley-Jo Thompson (UK)<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Martin explains that the second competition element is via their regular monthly awards. Currently, they have six prize sponsors from the photography world \u2013 including none other than <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em> \u2013 and they each pick a winning image every month from anywhere in the gallery. The result is that someone takes away a photography prize roughly every five days, with prizes including a thinkTANK Photo camera bag; photography business cards from MOO; the suite of Mastering Lightroom ebooks; a box of 50 glossy prints; or perhaps most exciting, a year\u2019s subscription to <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, every image is on an \u2018always eligible\u2019 basis: every image in the gallery is always in the running to win something, no matter when they were uploaded. It\u2019s also a nice way for the competition to build a community, with many submitting images regularly and finding inspiration in their fellow photographers\u2019 photos.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_89394&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-89394 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Chester-Bullock-USA.jpg\" alt=\"One Million Photographers Chester-Bullock-USA\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Chester-Bullock-USA.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Chester-Bullock-USA.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Chester-Bullock-USA.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Chester-Bullock-USA.jpg?resize=533,400 533w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Chester-Bullock-USA.jpg?resize=900,675 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Chester-Bullock-USA.jpg?resize=562,422 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Chester Bullock (USA)<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Open to all<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most heartening things about photography competitions (One Million Photographers included) is when they are open to both amateurs and professionals. It may seem like an odd thing to highlight (and something we often talk about), but it\u2019s only then that you see how often the lines between the two camps can appear a little diffused.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I would definitely say that the line between amateur and professional photographers is becoming increasingly blurred. There\u2019s often an intuitive tendency to regard \u201cpro\u201d as superior and \u201camateur\u201d as lacking, perhaps because of the dictionary definition of the two words that we all think we know. But with photography being an expressive art, there is nothing unflattering about the \u201camateur\u201d tag, which really only refers to all of us who don\u2019t make a living from taking pictures,\u2019 explains Martin.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_89405&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-89405 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Kelly-McCann-UK.jpg\" alt=\"One-Million-Photographers-Kelly-McCann-UK\" width=\"1000\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Kelly-McCann-UK.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Kelly-McCann-UK.jpg?resize=300,202 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Kelly-McCann-UK.jpg?resize=594,400 594w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Kelly-McCann-UK.jpg?resize=900,606 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/One-Million-Photographers-Kelly-McCann-UK.jpg?resize=562,378 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Kelly McCann (UK)<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>The competition also sees entries from all ages \u2013 from teenagers all the way up to photographers in their 50s and 60s. Similarly, the reach is global. While the entries are predominately from the UK, One Million Photographers is also seeing entries from Europe, USA and Australia. Regardless of age or location, Martin feels there are some things that will always stand out in an image.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Creativity and technical excellence go a long way,\u2019 says Martin, \u2018but ultimately I think the images that best convey a storytelling element are the ones that really stand out. This applies to all genres of photography \u2013 after all, images are and always have been agents of storytelling.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Martin Kimchi\u2019s background is in law, having spent about 13 years as a leveraged finance lawyer in London.
