MetContest24 Arrives, the Third Edition of the Meteored Meteorological Photography Contest

Jun 20, 2024 By Admin in Photography

Meteored Contest — On July 22, Meteored will give a picture of the best-rated meteorology photograph in the world.

For 3 years, Meteored has been launching its #MetContest24 meteorological photography contest in June in which amateurs and professionals from 11 countries choose to take a professional weather station.

The contest is held in a completely digital way, through Meteored’s social channels and anyone residing in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Portugal or Spain can participate in it.

It is a powerful tool to connect with a community of fans that adds up to about 200,000 people on social networks, among which are numerous photography fans and meteorologists.

How to participate in the #MetContest24?

Participating is very simple, it is not even necessary to be present on social networks to do so. Just send the image with a minimum quality of 300 dpi to the email enabled for the contest: [email protected]. The email must also include the following information: name of the author, title, place where it was taken and the author’s Instagram username (if you have it). Example: “Yolanda Silviera. Title: Relentless Lightning. London. Instagram @usert”. Check the rules of the contest for more details.

The deadline for receiving the images begins on June 24 and ends on July 7, 2024. Voting will take place until July 14 on Instagram.

As a curiosity, this year the bases have had to be modified to make an express reference to AI, because already in previous editions some attempt to participate in images created with artificial intelligence was detected, totally or partially, and it is expected that this year, that this technology has been more democratized much more, the concurrence of this type of images could be even greater. So the bases this year make it clear that only natural images, not altered or created with AI, can participate in the contest.

Choosing the winning photo: a team effort

The choice of the winning photograph is made in two phases. The first takes place on social networks, where users vote through “likes” and the 10 images with the most votes are chosen as finalists.

Here lies another of the novelties of this edition, because, unlike previous years, the votes will take place exclusively on Instagram. The social network of images par excellence will be the place where the images that will be published with both Meteored’s global profile and in the author’s country of residence can be voted on.

Once the voting phase is over, the 10 images with the most “likes” will become the finalists and will be sent to a jury, composed of members of the Meteored international news team, who will choose the winning image of this edition, which will be announced on 22 July, 2024.

The author of the winning image will take a professional weather station, equipped with outdoor solar energy sensor, rain collector, wind indicator, UV radiation meter and humidity sensor. In addition to an LCD screen and wireless technology that allows you to transmit data over a Wi-Fi connection.

Allen Wheatcroft: When a Street Photographer Goes Elsewhere

Jun 20, 2024 By Admin in Photography

Spread the love

“I have a counterproposal: A Street Photographer Gets Serious about Place,” says photographer Allen Wheatcroft to the Phoblographer in an interview when we asked about how his thought process changes based on being in the suburbs. After explaining that he’s not, we can’t help but think that this is all we see in stark contrast to much of his other work. This is a clear demonstration of the power of framing. “…in one sense this project answers the question ‘what would I have if I took street photos mostly without the people?’ The project is about the places where people live and the ways they make places their own – or try to.”

All images by Allen Wheatcroft. Used with permission. For more, please check out his website and Instagram @ajwheatphoto. Be sure to check out his book Björkevägen and The Northside at the publisher.

It’s important for Allen that he didn’t drop in briefly and move on to create the photos that we see in the rest of his portfolio. Much of the photos take place in Chicago — a place he calls home. “I’d like to say that it then expanded in neat concentric waves, but the expansion wasn’t so neat, more like a dropped jar of jam, messy,” he tells us. However, this project required a different approach. Much of his other work is put together in the edit and then arranged into a book. For this, he was thinking about the book from the onset.

In The Northside, the northern tier of Chicago’s neighborhoods forms the center of gravity. The photos in Björkevägen were taken in Sörmland, a mostly rural area in Sweden. The Sweden photos come from a few villages, a small city, and coastal resort, a town that also hosts some light industry.

Allen Wheatcroft

Allen Wheatcroft first got into photography in his early 20s. He borrowed his brother’s Pentax SLR and began taking photos of people on the streets. “The ’thing’ was the ability to see and create relationships among people and things,” he tells us. These days, he’s using a Leica Q2 along with a Leica SL2 and 24-90mm lens. “One street habit I kept was to carry a camera with me when not purposefully shooting,” he tells us. “The SL2 is too bulky for this, so I often had a mirrorless Sony rx100.” Indeed, he’s going for showcasing images that look human and not like they’re made by a Generative AI.

In fact, Allen hasn’t been disturbed by AI just yet because it hasn’t crept into his world. “I’m not doing documentary or news or persuasive stuff, where AI seems downright dangerous,” he states. “I’m still enough of a street photographer to have in mind Garry Winogrand’s aphorism: ‘I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.’ But I’m also after a conversation.” To that end, he’s avoided the new Adobe AI tools.

He’s reached a point where so many modern photographers have yet to reach: thinking about photo books first. It’s something that we see with Cig Harvey and Jens Krauer. Both of these folks are ones we’d consider true photographers first — and perhaps any other label you wish second.

“When laying the book out, I had, of course, a new level of relationships – among the pictures – to work with,” Allex explains. For two years, he and Caleb Cain Marcus (who designed his other book) worked on laying it out. “For more than two years, Caleb and I worked together on photo selections, sequence and movement, layout, etc. that would create/keep the mood and feeling of the shooting. Our goal was to keep a feeling of freedom, which, despite the constraints, I had as I shot.”

The two looked for variety, humor, ways to elicit smiles, mystery, chose specific colors that they felt supported the goal, etc.

“There aren’t many people in the photographs we selected – none in The Northside – yet we felt that the images themselves are human, and we chose scale to reinforce that.”

AUTHENTICITY STATEMENT

The Phoblographer works with human photographers to verify that they’ve actually created their work through shoots. These are done by providing us assets such as BTS captures, screenshots of post-production, extra photos from the shoot, etc. We do this to help our readers realize that this is authentically human work. Here’s what this photographer provided for us.

Exploring identity through the lens

Jun 20, 2024 By Admin in Photography

Students of this year’s MA documentary photography and photojournalism course at the London College of Communication present their final projects to the public this week as their work is exhibited in London.

The show – called This Way Up – was shot in 10 countries and explores a wide range of subjects, from deeply personal moments, to those of a more global nature.

Course leader Aletheia Casey, recent winner of a World Press Award, said: “Over the past two years, students… have developed in-depth and meaningful bodies of work which not only push the boundaries of the photographic language, but also engage with vital concerns of our time.”

Here is a small selection of the work, with captions in the photographers’ own words.

Anna Kroeger

As I Walk This Tidal Path is based on psychogeographic wanderings in the Thames estuary.

Blending the mundane and the surreal, the work is an invitation to immerse oneself in the landscape: to dream, to remember and to imagine.

Beatrice Updegraff

A Thief Has Come is a Rajasthani proverb uttered when a girl is born.

This project reflects upon my collaboration with Jaipur Rugs, a foundation established to train Dalit women (the lowest caste) to weave. Through photojournalism workshops, I sought to empower women to reclaim their identity.

However, this work has raised questions: Who benefited from this? Who owns these images? A Thief Has Come…Is it me?

Fabio Ruffet

My project Common Ground delves into how London parks serve as microcosms of infinite perspectives, a stage from which to observe the myriad of facets in urban life.

London’s reputation as a green city is built on its extensive and ostensibly egalitarian network of parks.

Yet soaring housing prices and unequal access exacerbate social inequalities, adversely affecting the physical and mental health of ethnically diverse and low-income communities.

George Rigos

In limbo(s) tells a dystopian visual story of the effect of over-tourism, on an imaginary island in the Greek archipelago, constructed with genuine images of well-known touristic destinations around Greece during the off-season.

Georgina Cook

Central to the project is my Google Doc diary, chronicling life since my baby’s birth in 2023, alongside inspirations and ideas.

Through film, performance, installation, textiles, and photography, I invite viewers into our daily life, showcasing the messy, tender, and often invisible complexities of motherhood.

The work challenges the myth that motherhood and artistic pursuit are mutually exclusive, finding solace in creation amidst the chaos and joy of parenting, often working quickly while the baby naps.

Jack Owen

This project is about people and places within the Dearne Valley in South Yorkshire.

Using verbatim interview text alongside documentary photography, the work explores how the seemingly separate worlds of the plough and the pick are in fact intertwined within families and across this altered landscape, and offers working people’s reflections on past, present and future as pause for thought for all of us in a rapidly changing world.

Lauren Morrison

Blending art and activism, my project 246 Flowers highlights the human toll of mass shootings in Texas and the influence of the National Rifle Association (NRA) on elected officials.

Created as a poignant memorial to 246 lives slain over the past decade, scanned flowers represent victims, as they lie in rusted tins lined with body bags.

246 Flowers compels societal reflection on political values, advocating for accountability and meaningful gun control reform.

Marcin Kornacki

Haiti remains one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, plagued by economic hardship, political corruption, gang violence, and natural disasters.

Photographed over an 18-month period, in the lead-up to the ousting of the country’s prime minister in 2024, this project aims to create a snapshot of Port-au- Prince at a critical moment in the country’s development.

Focusing on the lives of people displaced due to gang warfare, in a city controlled by armed groups, it also documents the gangs themselves, their political aims, and the effect they have had on the city amidst the ongoing socio-political turmoil.

Nikita Elash

All The Places We Couldn’t Call Home explores the journey between a mother and child in their ongoing quest to build a home during London’s current housing crisis.

The work investigates how to cope within a system that is made to wear you down.

It culminates in a mother’s hope that she can create a better future for her child.

How can a home be made within the confines of insecure housing?

Reem Baeshen

Religion and belief are powerful, but can sometimes divide people. Through art, however, we can connect in a universal language.

Through handwritten letters and self-reflective collages, this project explores who I am as a woman, a mother and a Muslim.

Richard Wood

Aktion T4 was the Nazi campaign of mass murder of German citizens with disabilities – people deemed as having, “life unworthy of life”.

Operating from six sites across Germany and Austria, T4 was the first instance of mass murder by gas chamber and served as a prologue to the larger genocide.

Perpetrators used the methods learned during the T4 killings in the Holocaust extermination camps. The official number of victims is 70,000, however, it is widely accepted that this number sits closer to 300,000.

Through visiting and documenting each site, I have attempted to bring this forgotten genesis chapter of the Holocaust to light.

Sam Peters

In October 2023, I went to Rwanda to try to launch my career as a photojournalist.

I came home a month later having sold no photos, spent all of my savings, and completely fallen out of love with photography.

I spent the next three months working on a series of half-considered, never-finished projects, desperately trying to find my love of the medium that I had felt so attached to for so long.

Made in the course of 24 hours, Acceptance, or I Cannot Come Again, explores the loss of one art, and the acceptance of another.

Sloane Warren

Chemical Unbalance uses the chemistry of the darkroom and the menopausal body as a way of exploring the changes occurring, without and within.

An expression of the conflicting emotions and experience, I have made chemigrams by painting, dropping, spitting, spraying, and laying anti-ageing serums, healing balms, and bodily fluids on expired photographic paper.

Alternating between fixer and developer, the resulting images, each as unique as every ovary bearing person’s experience, allude to the anthropological, biological, psychosocial, biblical, and celestial.

Tom Videlo

CQ, CQ, CQ documents the world of amateur radio enthusiasts in Guernsey, and provides a conceptual portrayal of the contact with the world beyond Guernsey’s shores that occurs when they are on the air.

The project also explores the visual language of QSL cards – distinctive postcards that are sent to confirm a contact between two amateurs.

All of the photographs have been processed by being transmitted via radio, producing a unique visualisation of the invisible waves that surround us.

Yana Kasa

This project delves into the autonomous region of Gagauzia, capturing its vibrant culture through traditional weaving and its symbolic language.

Comprising a book of images, folklore, and symbols, along with a handwoven tapestry merged with a pixelated image, it explores cultural representation and the precarious future of Gagauzia’s autonomy.

The exhibition is part of Free Range 2024, a collection of graduate photography and fine art exhibitions taking place in the Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, London until 23 June 2024.

Photographer / Director Benito Martin releases short film ‘A Night To Remember’

Jun 20, 2024 By Admin in Photography

June 20 2024, 12:45 pm | BY Ricki Green | No Comments

International production and photography agency Sam I Am has announced the release of the short film ‘A Night To Remember’ directed by Benito Martin with production design by Jess Johnson.

The film is a result of Martin’s fascination with the directing space, creating worlds and stories that take us back in time, often with a quip of humour. He is especially drawn to the nostalgia and warm tones of the 70s, which are evident in much of his work.

VIEW ‘A NIGHT TO REMEMBER’ FILM

Sam I Am founder Samantha Simpson says, “Essential creativity has a lifeblood of its own. Benito’s vision always delights and charms me. As it expands into the directorial space, that vision multiplies in its capacity to share humour and story. A Night to Remember is a perfect example of how a beautiful idea comes to life when perfectly seen and teamed.”

Since joining Sam I Am in 2017, Martin’s photography presence has dominated the advertising industry, with a particular focus on the food and beverage and lifestyle space. He continues to inspire and excite as he lends his vision and talent to the motion space as director.

Martin says “I had fun creating this food focussed, hyper-stylised world, drawing on my experience and love of working with food. I’ve always had the idea kicking around in the back of my mind. I’m excited by playful films with quirky twists that don’t take themselves too seriously.

“I love creating stylised and nostalgic worlds. I was influenced by Wes Anderson’s use of set design and single-axis camera moves. And in this world, I found directing the motion so enjoyable. It takes what I love about photography and adds the element of time… the idea of watching a story unfold and evolve.

“I was blown away by Jess’ beautiful set design and Ismat’s way with food, how they both seamlessly saw what I saw. Also, there is Stella Morison’s amazing wardrobe, Max Gesbach’s beautiful lighting, and Sean Ryan’s work behind the camera. I really couldn’t have imagined such a polished, finished product without all of these talented people!”

Sam I Am senior producer Lucy Whirledge says “What a work of art! This film showcases the stunning talent and dedication of the entire team. Pulling this team together was so easy because the idea was so good. Every single person we asked jumped at the chance to work on this, and they all brought their unique skills that truly shine in the final film. Collaborations like this make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you, Benito, for coming up with such a fun idea, and thank you to everyone who played a part. Enjoy!”

Martin’s clients include UberEats, David Jones, AMEX, McDonald’s, Connoisseur, Chatime, Fisher & Paykel, Menulog, Sydney Opera House, Crown, Arnotts, Ben & Jerry’s, Four Pillars, Bed Threads, Cascade, Sunrice, Perfection Fresh, Hardie Grant Books, Koala, Bonsoy, Department of Health, Heart Foundation, Lululemon, Helgas, Are Media, Queen, Murdoch Books, Facebook, and Session Tequila.

Editorial clients include Gourmet Traveller, T Magazine, Marie Claire, Delicious and Jones Magazine.

The 5 Best Disposable Cameras, According To Professional Photographers

Jun 20, 2024 By Admin in Photography

If you live for an iPhone photo and are skeptical of going back to film, Kristen Gregor, photographer and founder of Petal & Glass Photography says there are some serious perks to using disposables. Camera-shy people don’t seem to mind them as much, you get off your phone, and instead of worrying about getting the perfect shot, you just get to enjoy the photos.

“It’s the best feeling in the world to get your scans back and see your memories played back in such an honest, authentic, candid way. Film is perfect for that,” Gregor told us.

Sentimentality and nostalgia are the big reasons to use film, per Haley Richter, photographer and owner of Haley Richter Photography, as film can capture modern moments in a way that looks similar to photos from your parents or grandparents. It’s this unmistakable aesthetic: the colors, the grains, the blurs, and spots that can only happen with a film camera. “The quality of film is nearly impossible to replicate with digital,” she said.

The final pro of disposable cameras is how user-friendly and un-precious they are, says Josiah Blizzard, professional photographer and owner of Josiah & Steph Photography. “The barrier to entry is non-existent, anyone can use one!” Blizzard told us. “Hand a disposable to your uncle, grandfather, or six-year-old, and they can have fun capturing memories.”

Photographer Dangles from Helicopter to Shoot Landscapes From Above

Jun 19, 2024 By Admin in Photography

Commercial photographer Andrei Duman takes to the skies for a stunning set of aerial landscape imagery. Through his lens, we see an abstract view of the world, with strange lines and surreal colors. Taken using a 151-megapixel Phase One camera, the images are also filled with rich details that really pop when they are seen in a large format.

While Duman’s commercial photography requires meticulous attention to detail and careful planning, his aerial photography provides him with a different type of creative outlet. All of the images are taken from a helicopter, making them a full-body experience.

“It is incredibly liberating to be in a plane or helicopter with the doors off, corkscrewing around your subject with all the G-forces and blood rushing to your head,” Duman shares. “You have to adapt quickly to changing conditions and become reactive to your settings and compositions.”

This adventure spurs spontaneity and, given the high-quality results, shows off Duman’s sharp observational skills. Even in these conditions, he’s able to craft artful compositions that draw in the viewer. Whether photographing salt ponds, river beds, or arid terrain, he’s able to extract the essence of the landscape.

Duman’s series is currently being featured in an online exhibition at Aurélie’s Gallery, where they are also available for purchase. Attracted by their abstract quality, gallery founder Aurélie Jezequel marvels at his ability to show beauty in unexpected places.

“At first glance (and even at the tenth one), you’re not sure what you’re looking at. It’s hard to decipher a landscape in these strange lines and surrealist (yet true) colors. Coming closer you sometimes notice small details—a power line, a house—which give you a clue to what you’re looking at. But too often, there’s nothing to cling to: most of the images remain mysterious, defying conventions and expectations of what a landscape should look like.”
