Kuala Lumpur Photography Award - A Stranger's Face: Travel Portraits

One of the most popular photography genres is travel photography, and as rewarding as seeing far-flung places, exotic lands, and tasting new cuisines can be, the people you meet are often the most memorable part of any journey, near or far. 

For our 18th edition, KLPA seeks portraits taken during your recent travels. Simple as it may sound, creating enigmatic and engaging portraits of strangers requires more than chance encounters, good fortune and quick snapshots.

An acknowledged nod or smile can lead to a friendly conversation and offer new insights and opportunities to gain trust, make new friends and capture memorable photographic moments. New perspectives allow you to see the world and its people within it in a whole new light.
