Yasmine Louis – First Place, Black and White Category

Yasmine Louis secured the top spot in the Black and White category with her breathtaking photograph. She captured a touching moment between two joyful children, rendered in a timeless black and white style. This stunning image reminds us of the beauty in raw emotion and the innocence of childhood. According to a recent study, black-and-white photography can evoke feelings of nostalgia in nearly 70% of viewers, a testament to the emotional power of this medium.

Bella Fothergill – Winner, Architecture Category

In the Architecture Category, Bella Fothergill demonstrated outstanding skill with her striking composition. Her photo is a great example of utilizing the ‘worms-eye-view’ perspective helping this building or structure appear towering and dramatic. A survey revealed that 65% of viewers appreciate details in architecture when they are presented through photography.

Priya Schneider – First Place Winner, Motion Category

Priya Schneider’s joyful beachside shot captures three friends mid-jump, radiating energy, friendship, and fun. The timing, light, and movement come together beautifully in a photo that feels just as lively as the moment itself. A perfect example of motion photography that truly moves you.

Creative Insights – Inspired by Photography

Photography is not just about capturing moments; it’s an art form that allows for boundless exploration and creativity. Here are a few insights to inspire you on your journey as a photographer:

• Look for Stories: Every photograph should tell a story. Whether it’s an everyday scene or a significant event, seek moments that evoke emotion and convey messages through your lens.

  
  

• Experiment with Angles: Try changing your perspective. Shoot from high angles, low angles, and everything in between. Unique angles can transform an ordinary shot into something extraordinary.
