Categories
5 categories. Two universes. One standard.
KMFT categories are creative directions — not judging boxes. They guide your intention when submitting. In a city, all images in a universe face off in duels judged by peers; there is no per-category ranking.

KMFT Weddings
Raw Emotion
Immediate emotion, gesture, human tension. The image exists because something happened — a tear, a grip, a held breath. Unposed, honest, direct.
Light and Composition
Light and frame structure are not background — they are the subject. The photographer chose them deliberately. The image would collapse without them.
Couple Vision
The couple within the wedding frame, with intention. Not a record of their presence — a vision of who they are together.
Documentary Pulse
Living documentary — energy of the day, storytelling frames, unexpected and spontaneous moments. The photographer disappeared into the day.

KMFT Portraits
Family Portraits
Family bonds: parents, children, siblings, generations, family pregnancy. The image is built around a familial bond — its weight, its tenderness, its complexity.
Creative Studio
Individual or collective portrait in a controlled environment. Author, artist, corporate identity — the studio as a space of intention. The subject is defined, the frame is deliberate.
