We got so many great submissions this month for our ‘Hands’ challenge! The judges had a tough time, but in the end, Rome-based street photographer Fabio Renzi won the day.
There's a lot to love about Fabio’s photo: the optical illusion of the extra hand, the stark contrast between light and shadow, the pastel colours that Rome provides so well, the repetition of the shape of the bollard on the wall behind it, and the pattern at the top-left that looks like someone rolled a die and threw a five.
Congrats, Fabio!
Two ice creams are better, Rome 2020
We caught up with Fabio to find out more about this intriguing shot. He told us:
“In the center of Rome there are ice cream parlors on practically every corner. I often stand at the exit of these to try to take some interesting photos. When I took the contest photo, my attention was captured by the sharp cut of light. I lurked in the hope that an interesting situation would arise, and in the end, it did. The person holding the second ice cream was one step behind the woman in the photo, completely in shadow, and there was only a fraction of a second in which that person had just their arm with the ice cream in the light. I found myself in front of a surreal and funny scene, which thanks to luck and timing, I was able to capture.”

Our challenge this month was ‘Layers.’ Most street photographers we know want to take better layered photos, but it’s one of the hardest things to achieve in the genre. Turkish photographer Emir Sevim was the winner of our competition with this double-take-inducing shot from the streets of Istanbul. We loved his clever use of foreground and background elements. The perspective is great as the objects in the foreground get smaller as they go down the block, as do the people. Congrats, Emir on this fabulous shot!
Flow of Life, Istanbul 2022
This is what Emir had to say about his image:
It was a cloudy day with no sun. I always wanted to go somewhere different from the places I took pictures. While I was wandering around the streets, I saw the bags hanging in the grocery store on the corner. I got this photo after taking a few other photos, which you see below.
Thanks, Emir, for sharing the other shots you took as well as the winning shot. It’s always helpful to see how a photographer worked the scene. Congrats again!
