The Hug By Aga Karmol

The Hug By Aga Karmol

Fighting stallions. This is what horses do when living wild. They won't kill each other, they fight to establish leadership. It is us, owners, who deprive them of their natural behaviour, because we are being overprotective. Keeping stallions alone often leads to them being frustrated and becoming agressive. Horses are social animals who are unhappy when they can't interact with others. During this photoshoot, none of them got injured. They were closely supervised to avoid any risk. After an initial fight, they were perfectly happy with each other.

Aga Karmol studied art and earned a Master of Fine Arts Degree (MFA) from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. Her passion for photography began with film cameras. She cooperated with the biggest Polish national equestrian magazine Kon Polski, where she regularly published photo stories from horseback travels across the world. Her photos and articles with an equine theme were also printed in The Forbes and National Geographic Traveler. In 2005, Aga relocated to London and became a correspondent for the magazine. In 2014, she moved to Somerset and shifted her focus to fine art photography.

Miracle Of Spring By Hiroki Matsubara

Miracle Of Spring By Hiroki Matsubara

This was early one spring morning. I went to a lake where cherry blossoms were in bloom. It was raining at night, and at sunrise the rain stopped and there was fog. While I was photographing the scenery, a rainbow appeared overhead. I hurriedly changed lenses to find the right composition and took the picture. Here is a shot of the spring cherry trees and the two miraculous rainbow arches! I took a 14mm shot, but it didn't fit, so I took multiple shots and composited them into a panorama.

I am a landscape and wildlife photographer with a wide range of genres in Japan. I usually work as a construction worker and enjoy using my camera. I work for various companies and NFT in a wide range of fields. I started participating in international photo contests outside of Japan in 2022!

Parrot Tulips By Tim Platt

Parrot Tulips By Tim Platt

These homegrown tulips have been photographed in a stylised way using studio lighting. The macro lens offers a shallow depth of field so in order to achieve enhanced clarity and definition a focus stacking technique has been used. Between 30 to 120 frames at slightly different focal points have been blended on each image to create pin-sharp focus from front to back. The goal was to observe as much fine detail as possible.

For Tim Platt, photography is above all about the simple joy of seeing. After over 25 years experience in delivering international advertising campaigns for blue-chip companies like Unilever, P&G, Samsung, LG, Britvic, and GSK among many others, Tim has mastered the craft and technique required at the highest echelons of commercial photography. Although craft and technique should not be underestimated, it is a mysterious neural connection between the eye and the brain that makes great images, and technique should always remain safely behind the scenes. He runs his own studio in central London.

A Ray Of Hope By Hidenori Sono

A Ray Of Hope By Hidenori Sono

It is one of the mountains in the central part of Hokkaido, located in northern Japan. In the stillness of -17 degrees Celsius, a ray of light pierced through. The frost smoke and frost-covered trees were beautifully illuminated. That ray of light in the cold darkness felt like a symbol of hope for life. In that precious morning, I silently thought, "Thank you, God."

Veins Of The Earth By Robert Bilos

Veins Of The Earth By Robert Bilos

The rivers of Iceland run from the glaciers to the oceans, creating paths across the volcanic earth which look like the veins of the land when seen from the air. Along the way, they transport vital nutrients for the ecosystem in the form of sediment, which are responsible for the sometimes very unusual colors of the water, sometimes looks like another planet. When you shot from the air, sometimes can be a big challenge to create a photograph in windy conditions and for short periods of time.

It rained the day before and with any luck it will clear up the next morning. It was in this environment that I chose this location for my photo shoot. And as expected, I was able to capture this moment. Although well known among Japanese photographers, I have never seen such a fog with light piercing through it and shadows riding it. It would be impossible to photograph such a situation happening during the brief cherry blossom season! It looks like we could not see this spectacle again in 2023!

I remember being very moved as I realized the meaning of life in front of a deer breathing white breath against the morning sun. I created this silhouette photograph to draw the viewer into this world of silence.

Shining Ray By Giovanna Arnaud Fleming

Shining Ray By Giovanna Arnaud Fleming

Ireland's countryside is bathed in the morning sun's radiant glow. The vibrant light, streaming from the side, creates a powerful and dramatic effect. A subtle haze forms as the sunlight interacts with the air, adding to the ethereal ambiance. Dark trees on either side cast elongated shadows, creating depth and contrast. The interplay of radiant light and shadows showcases the natural beauty of the surroundings, while a gentle fog hovers over the water, enhancing the sun rays.

A consequence of growing up in mountainous areas is a sensitivity to the subtle cycles and seasonal changes of the landscape. The trees, the rivers, the fields, the snow cover, and the mountains, which show different aspects of themselves from one hour, one day, one season, to the next. The world’s wild places - mountains, glaciers, polar ice – are under increasing pressure, both from climate change and the relentless intrusion of human activities. One way to inspire people to value and make an effort to preserve these areas is by sharing images of them.

Swamp By Dennis Lehtonen

Swamp By Dennis Lehtonen

The aurora forecast for the night was promising so I walked a few kilometers to a nearby swamp area. Soon as the sky got dark the aurora was visible overhead next to the bright moon, but eventually got so far south that it completely disappeared from my location. At the same time the people of south Finland had their first proper aurora show in years. Later on the auroras would return to the more northern latitudes where the lights would explode in brightness and you could see the purple rays rising high into skies. The best parts finished just on time as the fog was starting to cover the sky.

I am passionate about polar regions and enjoy capturing the natural phenomenon, such as the northern lights and rare clouds. Having spent most of my life living in big cities of south Finland I felt depressed not being able to see the night sky properly due to light pollution, so I moved to the northern parts of the arctic to the small towns and villages. I move frequently as I enjoy discovering new rural locations in the arctic with each location having their own adventures and plan on creating a free astronomy club in Greenland.

The flowers in this series have been submersed in water and sometimes an additional medium like milk or colorants has been included. Distributing the additional medium in the vessel, in my case a fish tank, gives movement and dynamic - it creates the drama. The different density of the medium affects the opacity, it adds texture and dimension to the image. One thing is for sure, each image is one-of-a-kind and can never be replicated.

Scent Of Storm By Andrea Maestosi

I took this photo at the end of a heavy storm in the Tuscan countryside. While I was shooting, I appreciated the typical smell that the rain leaves on the wet grass and it reminded me of when, with my father, I admired the storms from the window of our house, hence the title, Scent of storm.

For me, landscape photography is more than just a click. It is the way to disconnect from the hectic everyday life, as well as express myself and my emotions. From an early age my parents have always taken me in their free time in the middle of nature, teaching me to respect it. Nature has always benefited my life. In fact, whenever I need to find myself and contemplate my thoughts, I escape the city and immerse myself completely in nature. I try to convey this value to my son Jonathan as well. In the hope that his generation can protect our beautiful planet in the best possible way.

Dramatic Sunset Vibes By Justinus Sukotjo

Dramatic Sunset Vibes By Justinus Sukotjo

Selong Belanak beach is located in Lombok island, West Nusa Tenggara, East Indonesia, a beautiful and quiet beach and it's a perfect place to learn surfing. It's a beautiful white sand beach and also perfect place to have a zen and relaxed time far away from day to day busy life. I can also see colourful fishing boats pulled up on the beach with the local fishermen preparing their freshly caught fish. Furthermore, when came to sunset time, I saw one colourful fishing boats and I was using the opportunity to make a spectacular sunset photography.

I am a photography enthusiast with genre of landscape (color & black and white), fine art black and white and human interest. Although I started to make a photo since analog camera and mostly for family documentation, I started to focus on landscape photography since 2016 and human interest photography since Sep 2021. I am so passionate with photography because photography is an art that I can enjoy for myself and also for other people who love with photography.

Connection By Martin Babarik

Connection By Martin Babarik

There is an old forest a few kilometres from where I live. For many years I didn't know what treasure was hidden in it. During the pandemic there was a lockdown for several days, during which it was forbidden to leave the district. That's when I started walking around my neighborhood until I got to this forest. I was just taking a walk, I needed to clean my mind and think about more positive things. Deeper in the forest I was left standing in pure amazement - 300 or 400 years old oaks had appeared in front of me and there were more and more of them. It was love at first sight.

I take pictures of trees, this is what I specialize in. Trees are alive beings and that is how I try to catch them. I am a photographer of the Tree of the Year Slovakia poll.

Misty Layers By Giovanna Arnaud Fleming

Misty Layers By Giovanna Arnaud Fleming

A colorful and glowing sunset over layers of mountains emerging from the mist, all bathed in warm orange hues.

A consequence of growing up in mountainous areas is a sensitivity to the subtle cycles and seasonal changes of the landscape. The trees, the rivers, the fields, the snow cover, and the mountains, which show different aspects of themselves from one hour, one day, one season, to the next. The world’s wild places - mountains, glaciers, polar ice – are under increasing pressure, both from climate change and the relentless intrusion of human activities. One way to inspire people to value and make an effort to preserve these areas is by sharing images of them.
