Honorable Mention
Pastel Shades
DESCRIPTION
The soft glow of neon lights on this empty pedestrian street in Tokyo quietly invites attention. The subtle pastel shades against the dark night bring warmth. The almost complete blackness of the buildings enhance the lighting perfectly. The shades of light transform this side street into something much more. AUTHOR
Vincent Dupont-Blackshaw has been working as a professional photographer for the past two years. Trained in the arts, he lives between Paris and London. His work takes him across the world, seeking stories of new places to share with his audience. From these travels he brings back unique memories of the moments he captures in new places. “I look for moments that are quietly unique. Often an isolated thing or person in an environment that on first glance is ordinary but on second glance tells a subtle story. Light plays an essential part of how I see that story being told, creating a mood and provoking feeling in each image. As a travel photographer, I strive to catch the essence of the place I am in at that exact time. My role is to tell a story of that place for people to connect with.”
