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.
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.
Sea Fairy by Daz Hamadi
A hijacking! I saw a photoshoot down on the beach, the 'sea fairy' was tentatively approaching the rather stormy sea while the sun was casting a great shadow perfectly demonstrating the 'chiaroscuro' that looks so good in B&W. (She was taken out a few minutes later by a nasty wave which cut the shoot short!)
