Earlier this year Wallpaper* teamed up with Sony Ericsson in the search for the best creative cameraphone photographers from around the globe in the ‘World View with Sony Ericsson 2007’ competition.
After challenging readers to wow us by capturing the artistic possibilities of a cameraphone with a single, striking image, we have now chosen our three favourite entrees. The winners will all receive the new Sony Ericsson K850 Cyber-shot™ phone. In addition, the overall winning image from Wallpaper* magazine has been put forward to compete for the title of ‘World View with Sony Ericsson 2007’ winner and a prize worth £10,000.
After a staggering response and much considered deliberation, James Reid, Wallpaper* Photography Editor, has carefully selected the following winners for their captivating images:
Overall winner: David Lahn Sorenson
‘Boules on a Beach’
‘David Lahn Sorenson’s image of people playing Petanque on the beach has great imagination, showing a low-key sporting moment between friends from an unexpected angle – making it appear dramatic, dynamic and fun. This photo shows how effectively a wide-angle lens can be used, the boules almost looking like planets and the people in the distance as mere specks.’
First runner-up: Bruce Novak
‘Man in front of Sky’
‘Although a relatively straightforward photograph, Bruce Novak’s shot immediately stood out as an interesting study of a young man. The uncertainty of the setting – a cloudy sky which on closer inspection is an image riveted to a wall, combined with a strong composition and the daydreaming adolescent, create the kind of portrait that could easily appear in Wallpaper*.’
Second runner-up: Daniken Fermon
‘Airplane Wing’
‘A simple, strong, graphic image taken through the window of a plane in flight was a favourite. The red tip of the wing against the blue sky creates a very striking composition.’
