The second edition of the competition consisted of six categories: Technical, Storytelling, Commercial Content, Documentary, Fine Art, and Landscape. Today on the blog we’re talking with the winner of the Technical category, Mary Bel, as she walks us through the BTS of her winning image and more. Hi Mary Bel, please introduce yourself. I am pretty much a self-taught photographer from Orlando, Florida. Although I learned photography in college, I learned the basics on 35mm film, and developed my own negatives and prints in a darkroom. Now, that technique is more for enthusiasts and purists. So, when the world evolved to digital photography, it took me a while to come around, but I made the adjustment. As a single mother of two, I turned to photography as a way to find solace, peace, and as therapy. At that time, I used myself

The second edition of the competition consisted of six categories: Technical, Storytelling, Commercial Content, Documentary, Fine Art, and Landscape. Today on the blog we’re talking with the winner of the Fine Art category, Elena Paraskeva, as she tells us more about the image. Hi Elena, please introduce yourself. Believe it or not, my masters was in finance, and my career in the US was first as a Director of Analytics and then as a Marketing Executive for Nestle Waters.

Black and white street photography has a long history, dating back to the 1930s, when Henri Cartier-Bresson roamed the hidden corners of Paris and Walker Evans and Helen Levitt rode the New York City subway. In the following decades, even as color photography began to dominate—first in advertising, then in fine art—pioneering street photographers continued to shoot in black and white for its timeless quality and effortless simplicity. Nearly a century later, many still do. In the last five years, Lomography, CatLABS, Fujifilm, and Kosmo Foto all announced new (or revived) black and white films. Without the distraction of color, a moment can be distilled to its essence or core. Whether you’re just starting out with street photography or considering a fresh approach, working in monochrome can teach you to see your surroundings in a new way. Save in RAW format This one’s for digital photographers: shooting in RAW format will give you the freedom and flexibility to edit/finesse

I wasn’t your brightest student but I aced my art class since kindergarten and it wasn’t till I got my first iPhone that I found the love of my life, photography. I was taking photos of everything and anything I found interesting but the passion that burnt within wanted more. I started taking professional photos in 2019 but faced a whole bout of challenges because it’s not easy to break out as an established professional photographer from West Africa, Ghana. I pushed through and fed my passion with work. Initi
