"Symmetry ​​" 2018 Theme Winners

Symmetry,  the similarity or exact correspondence between different things capture the eye of photographers every minute of every day.  These wonderful matching patterns made by nature or humans always seem to offer a soothing sense of balance and harmony.

Simultaneous BY Bence Mate

Picture
 Our Second Place Winner was submitted by 
Bence Mate​​​​ from Pusztaszer, Hungary
​

Bence is a Wildlife photographer, born in Hungary, 1985.  In 2010 he won the prestigious BBC Wildlife Photography of the Year award in London.  He is the most effective photographer in the 53-year-old history of the competition, being the only contestant winning the first prize in both the young and adult categories.     

In 2005 he experimented the one-way glass photography technique, making fundamental changes in hide photography practice. This technique has been widely used all over the world, and most hides are equipped with such glasses.

Since 2008 he has been designing wildlife photography hides in different parts of the world (Hungary, Costa Rica, Brazil, Norway, South-Africa and Transylvania, Romania). His enterprise operating in Hungary welcomes photographers with the most exclusive hides in the world.

In addition, I was always a big fan of nature and landscapes, and in combination with the long exposure photography that I also used for night, I found the type of photography I wanted to do: Landscape Photography and nightlife.    

I hope to grow day after day as a photographer, sharing this hobby with all of you through this website where I will publish besides my photos, my trips in search of locations to immortalize besides various tutorials that may be useful both from my own harvest and of great photographers you find on the net.

 Books: The Invisible Wildlife Photographer (English, Hungarian), The Handbook of Bird Photography (Markus Varesvuo, Jari Peltomäki, Bence Máté; English, German, Finnish, French)

The guest​ by Yves Demers​

Picture
Our Third Place Winner was submitted by 
Yves Demers​ ​​​from  Saint-Sauveur, Quebec Canada

​
For me...  Photographers capture moments to create lasting memories or provoke thought and discussion. They work to make statements with their photos, a poem...  a fable.

Classical Symmetry By André Boto

Picture
Our  Honorable Mention Winner was submitted by 
André Boto​​​ from Montijo, Setubal Portugal

​
I´m a freelance Photographer from Portugal working in following areas: Conceptual/Creative, Commercial, Architecture, Interiors, Industrial, Decoration Projects, Portrait and Post-Production in Photoshop.

I was always interested in the arts and design, devoting much time to the drawing. For me, it´s really challenging to create/re-create our own worlds based on optical illusion, I´m fascinated with Surrealism.
