Spotlight Seven is a spin-off group of 6 Million People. Each week, the group will add about 10 more photos from one featured photographer. The rules on the photos for Spotlight Seven are the same as they are here: 1 person/photo, each person in only one photo. The only requirements for being featured are that :

1) you must be a contributing member of 6 Million People;
2) You must take exceptional portraits of people.

If you think you qualify, add your name here along with links to some of your best portrait work. The curator, smoothdude, will be choosing a new photographer each week. That's only 52 people/year, so it's going to be very competitive. We expect the group to become the best portrait group on Flickr, at least in terms of average quality. It will take nearly two years to gather 1000 photos, but you can be certain that all of those will be truly outstanding.

So join the new group, add links to (or small thumbnails of) your best photos here and be sure to check Spotlight Seven every Friday to see the newest exhibit. We're having a pre-opening exhibition now, and our Grand Opening will be next Friday. Here's hoping you can all join us!

Those are just some that I like. Also, how do you feel about self-portraits. I really enjoy some of my selfies.

Well, you could only have one self-portrait. Smoothdude will be picking ten portraits from one photographer each week, so only a few Flickrites will be selected. One of our hopes for the new group is that it becomes a resource for learning more about portrait photography. I think smoothdude plans to conduct the Q&A each week, plus everyone can continue to ask more questions about lighting, technique & more during the week.

In other words even if you aren't selected to exhibit right away, y'all should visit the group every week to learn how to take great photos, and to understand better what smoothdude is looking for. Thanks 'o wau no.

My portraits aren't good enough yet, but here's the best of what I've taken so far. I think I have 2-4 real good shots, but I need a lot more practice before I'll be up to snuff.

Wow. These are outstanding. Obviously, only a few will be selected, but keep 'em coming. I know smoothdude checks this thread, and if he sees something he likes, you might get the call! In the meantime, I've been blogging a few of them over here, 6millionpeople.blogspot.com/ .
