Innholdsfortegnelse for Summer 2025 i Capture

Typically held on the U.S. West Coast in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Las Vegas, this was the first year the conference took place on the East Coast of the U.S. And it nearly came undone with Hurricane Helene wreaking havoc to other nearby cities in Florida (thoughts go out to those affected). Adobe also hosts smaller-scale Adobe MAXs in Europe, though the next MAX will be held in February 2025 in Tokyo. Adobe also hosts other large-scale events, such as Adobe Summit, with an upcoming event taking place in Las Vegas in March 2025. The difference between the two is that MAX is centred around creativity and design – such as new software features and how to stay inspired creatively; while the Summit is more focused on…

WINNER Petra Bensted Viscosity “The image ‘Viscosity’ was taken with the intention of capturing the emergence from the smooth movement of the sea,” says Bensted. “It was late afternoon, and the sun was low, giving an opportunity for the rays of light to bounce off the swimmer’s body. “The shot was taken with a Nikon DF Camera with a Tamron SP 70-200 lens, I deliberately used a slower shutter speed to ensure I could retain the smoothness of the water, but short enough to keep the swimmer in focus and relatively sharp. “I am a photographer who likes to combine my love for travel and creativity to capture unique images. Originally from Germany, I migrated to Australia at a young age and have since explored many parts of the world.…

WINNER Maria Michael Nature’s Abstract Art “This photograph offers a glimpse into the icy depths of Antarctica, where this towering iceberg, weathered by the elements, stands as majestic symbols of nature’s resilience,” says Michael. “The reflection in the still water below adds an air of mystery and intrigue, inviting viewers to explore the unknown. The contrast between the rugged texture of the iceberg and the glassy smoothness of the water creates a striking juxtaposition, capturing the delicate balance within nature’s raw beauty. “Taken in February 2024 during an Antarctic Expedition tour, this image was captured on a Zodiac cruise in Charlotte Bay on the Antarctic Peninsula, while searching for humpback whales. The morning light beautifully illuminates the side of the iceberg, revealing its intricate details. “I feel that I’m not…

There’s a multitude of ways we collate, share and display our work as photographers. And of course, the current and foreseeable trend is to present our images piecemeal on tiny phone screens, shared through the endless scroll of social media. Social media doesn’t reveal an in-depth, immersive overall view for photo stories (short term projects) or photo essays (long term projects) or image collections on specific themes and topics. This makes it difficult to make the deep dive into a photographer’s mindset, worldview or overall message. In a nutshell, a singular social media image is a snack, while a large body of photographic work is a fine restaurant’s degustation. So, what is the best way to share a photographic body of work with our peers? Of course, there is the…

Q Tell us a bit about your journey. How did you go from cyclist to cycling photographer? Photography has been my passion since my primary school days growing up in Newcastle. I studied photography throughout high school setting up my own darkroom. I moved to Sydney after school and went on to complete a Diploma in Photography at TAFE. After graduating I worked as a commercial photographer for 10 years for a company called Studio Commercial. During this time, I started an Instagram account documenting my daily road bike rides. After the images were well received, it motivated me to make the trip to cover Le Tour de France in 2013 as a spectator. After returning with a reasonably strong body of work, I felt I had enough images to…

WINNER Simon Harsent Air Force – where your potential lives. “In advertising campaigns, the role of the photographer often involves interpreting a concept that has already undergone multiple rounds of approvals, and sometimes focus groups. By the time I join the project, the creative boundaries are usually well-defined, and when, as in this case, working alongside a TV commercial crew, both time and creative freedom are further restricted. “Typically, the final image in these campaigns is a composite of various shots to ensure that the image works seamlessly with typography and can accommodate multiple formats across different media. “With this campaign for ADF Careers the final image we ended up using is somewhat different to the original layout given to me by the Agency. “I’d spent the best part of…
