FIAP 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.
FIAP NATURE
Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches ofnatural history, except anthropology and
archeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject material and certify its honest presentation.
The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality while maintaininghigh technical quality.
Human elements shall not be present, except where those human elementsare integral parts of the nature story such as nature subjects,
like barn owls or storks, adaptedto an environment modified by humans, or where those human elements are in situations depictingnatural
forces, like hurricanes or tidal waves. Scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars onwild 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 thatenhance the presentation of the photograph without changing the nature story or the
pictorialcontent, or without altering the content of the original scene, are permitted including HDR, focusstacking and dodging/burning.
Techniques that remove elements added by the camera, such asdust spots, digital noise, and film scratches, are allowed. Stitched images
are not permitted. Allallowed adjustments must appear natural. Color images can be converted to greyscalemonochrome. Infrared images,
either direct captures or derivations, are not allowed. Images entered in Nature sections meeting the Nature Photography Definition above
can havelandscapes, geologic formations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the primarysubject 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.
