Pictures of the week 1
Hello, and welcome to this series, Pictures of the Week. Each week, I will be looking at some great news and feature pictures from around the world.
Here are links to the photographers who feature in this week’s video:
Stu Gibson: www.stugibson.n...
Nikon surf photo competition: mynikonlife.co...
Surfing pictures are always dramatic and dynamic, but because there are so many variables, it is really difficult to compose a great picture that gives wider context. Surfing photographer Stu Gibson has managed to shoot this fantastic picture, which has just won the Nikon Surf photo competition this year.
Clive Mason: clivejmason.com...
Getty Images: www.gettyimages...
This next picture was taken at the Bahrain Grand Prix meeting. Clive Mason is really good all round sports photographer who works for the Getty Images picture agency. Getty have different media clients all around the world - newspapers , magazines, TV and websites and corporate clients. so Clive needs to produce a vast range of work to cover this event - feature pictures of the drivers and teams, details of practice, fans and of course the race itself. This isn’t really a picture that would work in newspapers because of space restrictions and paper quality, but it would look fantastic in a magazine.
Zikri Maulana: www.alamy.com/...
This third photo is by Zikri Maulana and is of Traditional fishermen catching fish with their nets in Indonesia. It is actually a clever use of silhouette, which allows the photographer to take a wide shot - showing the beach, the fishing boat and the sea, without worrying too much about detail.
Charlie Crowhurst: www.gettyimages...
A great sports picture captures a split second in time, sucks the viewer into the action and encourages them to guess at what could have happened next. And Charlie Crowhurst has got a super picture here, with this goal line clearance.
Martin Shields: martinshields.com
Royal Scottish National Orchestra: www.rsno.org.uk
And finally this lovely picture by Glasgow News and PR photographer Martin Shields. This is a PR picture shot for the RSNO - the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Pr pictures are usually taken to supply to newspapers and media outlets in order to promote an event, a product launch or something more general like company results. This picture is a combination of great forethought and planning by the PR and some skilled photography by Martin.
I hope you liked the pictures chosen for this week. Please let me know if you have seen a great picture - I might feature it in one of these videos!
