WHEN A PHOTOGRAPHER CAPTURED A RARE SHOT

26 sep, 2023

We continue to introduce you to the best works of the LensCulture Emerging Talent Awards 2023, and today we have single shots. Each work reveals its unique story: from attention to detail to quick moments captured in the urban rhythm.

Photographers honored with this prestigious award not only know how to capture moments, emotions, and the atmosphere of the city's hustle and bustle but also narrate the sociocultural aspects influencing the appearance of modern cities. Their lens becomes a window into the world of urban life, and each frame is a key to understanding human diversity.

The winners of this award once again prove to us that street photography is not just about capturing random encounters for a few seconds but also about interacting with the surrounding environment, finding beauty in everyday scenes, and conveying the atmosphere of urban life through the lens.
