A frozen moment in the life of a Common Kingfisher
The water erupts as the kingfisher emerges from the depths. With wings beating against the spray and a silver prize firmly in its beak, this is the raw energy of the hunt.
This series documents the lightning-fast hunting cycle of the Common Kingfisher. From the focused silence on the perch to the explosive impact and the final triumph, these five frames capture the precision, power, and brilliant colors of nature\\\\\\\'s most skilled fisherman.
The series presents a mature red deer stag in his natural environment, showing different moments of behaviour and interaction with the surroundings. A recurring motif is the antlers entangled with branches and leaves, resulting from territorial marking and intense contact with vegetation. This visual element becomes a symbol of presence, strength and control over space.
The sequence of images reveals both calm observation and more dynamic expressions, creating a coherent narrative about hierarchy, instinct and the relationship between the animal and its environment. It is a documentary portrait of a dominant male whose behaviour influences the structure and functioning of the herd.
A mature red deer stag stands in the foreground surrounded by hinds, focused and carefully observing the space ahead. His frontal posture and symmetrical antlers create a strong, balanced composition that immediately draws the viewer’s attention. The softly blurred background and presence of the herd provide natural context, emphasizing the male’s role as the central and most alert figure within the group. It is a calm yet meaningful moment that reveals hierarchy and structure within a red deer herd.
Golden hour over Edinburgh.
Warm evening light reveals the layered skyline of historic towers and church spires, while the main street guides the eye deep into the heart of the city.
The image explores structure, perspective, and the rhythm of urban life within Scotland’s architectural heritage.
A visual interrogation of reality versus projection. The fabric acts as a screen where the shadow (the illusion) seems more structured and rigid than the fluid, organic movement of the human holding it.
This series explores Edinburgh during the final hour of daylight, when historic stone and contemporary structures are transformed by warm evening light.
From the iconic skyline and castle to the rhythm of the city’s main streets and modern architectural forms, each frame reveals a different layer of the capital.
The project reflects the dialogue between heritage and evolution, capturing the city suspended between day and night, past and present.q
This is a stunning close-up of a fox caught in the middle of either a call. Its mouth is wide open, revealing sharp teeth and a pink tongue, giving it an intense yet oddly expressive look. The warm, reddish-brown fur contrasts beautifully with the soft white and gray patches around its face and neck. The background is blurred, suggesting it’s out in nature, which adds to its wild and untamed vibe. There’s something captivating about the fox’s expression—almost as if it’s mid-sentence, trying to communicate something to whoever’s looking.
Pongo is a beautiful Liver spotted male Dalmatian. The image was taken in the beautiful setting of Warley Woods. The Autumn tone of the leaves provided a stunning backdrop for this beautiful boy.
A slow shutter speed shot of an abandoned house in the Highlands of Scotland. I asked my model in the background to remain as still as possible while I took the long exposure.
“Grace in Velvet”
Bathed in soft, natural light and framed by the gentle blur of a forest backdrop, this portrait captures a young red deer stag in velvet. His antlers, still covered in their fine, fuzzy layer, curve elegantly skyward, while a delicate thread of spider silk drapes between them - an ephemeral connection between wildlife and the unseen intricacies of nature. The deer’s direct gaze, calm yet alert, draws the viewer in, evoking both the majesty and vulnerability of life in the wild.
This series focuses on the hands behind the skyline. The contrast between the rigid geometry of glass and steel and the high-visibility figures: while buildings feel permanent and monumental, the workers appear temporary and almost fragile within the frame. That tension highlights how something that looks so concrete is dependent on vulnerable human effort.
Release the Scare
Photographic concept
Tattered and hollow, the scarecrow no longer guards the field — it becomes the field’s darkest memory.
Once a lifeless figure meant to frighten away the crows, it now embodies the fear it was meant to repel. Straw bursts from cracked boots. Human feet dangle beneath a faded shirt. Black birds gather not in terror, but in triumph.
This is not a scarecrow.
This is fear made flesh.
This is the moment it breaks free.
The hand does not merely reach; it remembers. Beneath this translucent shroud, identity resides in a state of silver-toned limbo—a pulse felt but not yet seen. The veil is both a sanctuary and a cage, a heritage that clings like a second skin, blurring the lines between where the past ends and the future begins. Each finger strains against the weight of silence, seeking a world beyond the fabric of anonymity. Here, in the soft tension of the reaching limb, the \'Lost Identity\' is not a void, but a quiet, persistent rebellion against being forgotten.

Man opens his umbrella in an empty London train to hide from the photographer. While street photography operates within the freedoms of public space, his gesture reframes the encounter as a quiet negotiation of consent. (The photo is not staged and occurred naturally during a photo walk on London Underground)
A variety of different waterfalls and cascades from different locations, no mater how tall or small all waterfalls and cascades are beautiful ro watch and listen to.
Leaned against a doorway, a red-haired woman meets the camera with calm confidence. Sleek black attire contrasts pale skin and freckles, while vivid lipstick anchors the portrait. Soft light sculpts her profile, vintage trunks nearby adding texture, mystery, and quiet narrative tension, suggesting travel, poise, and an intimate moment paused.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наивысшим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
