NPhoto PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2021
1. Fish Patterns

BY SIRSENDU GAYEN

This incredible image was captured at Galiff Street’s weekly pet and plant market, near the Shyambazar five-point crossing in Kolkata, India. The entire frame is filled with black and orange fish that contrast beautifully against the white background. A relatively slow shutter speed has been used to capture subtle movements, resulting in an eye-catching watercolour effect.

Camera: Nikon D80

Lens: 18mm f/4

Exposure: 1/8 sec, f/22, ISO100

2. The Eye

BY ANTÓNIO BERNARDINO COELHO

This shot was taken at Porto’s Casa da Música metro station and is a great observation, because the architecture resembles a giant eye. We particularly like how the pigeons on the roof window and against the bright blue sky resemble fish in a tank. The heavy shadow prevents anything from detracting from the picture, while also conveying a brooding atmosphere.

Camera: Nikon D7100

Lens: 11-16mm f/2.8

Exposure: 1/6000 sec, f/3.3, ISO400
