Simultaneous BY Bence Mate
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
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.
