A Man and His Phone by Leanne Lindsay
We were setting up for some night shots at Darling Harbour - the city lights shimmering on the water were calling my photographer's soul! But next to me, hubby looked a little...well, bored. Let's be honest, night photography isn't everyone's cup of tea. Then, of course, the phone came out. Just as I turned to give him a gentle nudge (because come on, Sydney Harbour at night!), I saw the way the single streetlamp cast light on his face. It was like a spotlight, highlighting his concentration on the screen. In that split second, I knew I had to capture it! Now, I don't know what magical meme or cat video stole his attention that night, but this black and white shot perfectly captures the contrast - the dazzling city bokeh waiting to be captured, and the ever-present allure of the phone screen.
I see the end at the beginning by Parsa Mahmoudiye
On one of the weekends with good and sunny weather, I was walking in the old alleys of my city Maragheh and I was enjoying its old brick houses when I saw this beautiful frame from a remote corner of the city and I saw a suitable space for Photography. It has a sense of nostalgia and maybe depression that you can see the end with your eyes at the beginning of your journey and you have no choice but to continue on that path.
Echoes of Simplicity: Village Market by Janhavi Khanzode
During a visit to the market while staying at my grandmother's house, I captured a photograph that, despite being taken without a professional camera, exceeded my expectations. What truly stands out about this image is how it beautifully encapsulates every facet of village life. Initially, I had doubts about the outcome, but the photograph turned out to be a perfect representation of the vibrant and authentic village experience, capturing the essence of simplicity and tradition with remarkable clarity.
