INSPIRATIONS
(^02) MUNDARI CATTLE CAMP BY JOE BUERGI
Joe tells us: “I took this image on a 2019
trip to South Sudan. We mainly went for
the Mundari Tribe. The Mundari are cattle
herders who live along the White Nile.
This image was taken on a photo stroll
in the Mundari cattle camp right before
sunset. The conditions were demanding
because of the burning cattle dung and
dust from the cows.”
Lens Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM
Exposure 1/2000 sec, f/2.8, ISO
(^03) MARIACHI CATRIN BY CHIMBALA
Chimbala took this portrait at a Day
of the Dead festival in Mexico City. His
model looks the part, wearing decorative
Catrin makeup, an embellished jacket
and a sombrero. His creative decision to
desaturate the image in post works well.
Lens Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Exposure 1/160 sec, f/1.8, ISO
(^04) VENICE BY MARCO TAGLIARINO
The 2019 Venice Carnival has proved
popular – this is the third shot from the
event that made it into our top 10! We
love Marco’s shot for his composition and
eye-contact, and there’s a top wash of pink
colour that draws the viewer’s eye in to. By
positioning the model’s white face mask in
the top right and posed white glove in the
bottom left that helps balance the frame.
