The next category in the Editor's Choice 2 series is portrait photography. Marcel Saba, founder of Redux Pictures, will be judging your pictures uploaded in December.
From 1 December 2010 to 5 January 2011 you will be able to upload your portrait images to the CPN site. Saba will then choose a shortlist of images, giving feedback on his favourite ones in a multimedia presentation to be published on the CPN site in January.
Linking CPN readers to the world's best photo editors, CPN Editor's Choice allows your Canon photography to be seen at the highest level and gives photo editors a chance to discover new talent from around the world.

He resigned from his position at Corbis in February 2002. In the summer of 2003 Saba founded Redux Pictures. Redux was "his answer to the 'mega-agencies' that now dominate much of the market".
