“Wild Carrots” by Anne Mason-Hoerter (Canada/Germany). Movement Photographer of the Year. First Place, Fine Art.“Multiple scan data combined with digital camera data of a Wild Carrot, the scientific name being Daucus carota. My photographic process involves first taking the plant apart and then scanning each piece. I then combine those images with images I have taken with my cameras. I wanted to reproduce the unseen movement of plants at night. There are over 50 single images and took over a month to complete.”

“Flying Over the Sea” by Claudio Piccoli (Italy), Second Place, Nature.“I love to represent the dog as a superhero in my action shots. This dog and its owner were practicing disc dog in the water. It’s very difficult to do such amazing performances in these conditions, since the water brakes every movement. It was sunrise and I love the colors. The position of the girl is really focused on her dog and the launch of the disc was perfect. It’s a shot you can repeat more than one or two times since after that the dog needs to rest. The dog remains the main subject and his position in the air is perfect and extended with the maximum tension of muscles.”
The results are an incredible look at how this deceivingly simple concept can breed wide-ranging results.
Thousands submitted their images to the Movement contest, but the win went to Canadian photographerAnne Mason-Hoerter.
This stunning image is a powerful and elegant look at the movement of nature.
“‘Night Journey' by Ken Browar and Deborah Ory (United States). Second Place, People.“‘Night Journey' is a photograph of the Martha Graham Company taken for our book “The Style of Movement” The image is of 6 dancers performing the piece “Night Journey” choreographed by Graham. The dance is based on the Greek myth of Oedipus and Jocasta with six women portraying the Greek chorus. Martha Graham designed the dramatic costumes, which accompanied the text in our book discussing Graham’s influence on fashion design. We felt this piece worked well for the theme of “movement” as the women are moving together in perfect harmony, both in their movement, and in their dynamic expression.”

“Moonlight over the Atlantic” by Christiaan van Heijst (Netherlands). Third Place, Technology/Machine.“Full moon. About to cross 30 West, halfway, a stormy Atlantic Ocean when the radiant moon ascents above the horizon. Blinding out most stars, the bright lunar spell adds a touch of magic to the world around me. Silver-painted clouds drift by while the capsule of the 747 cockpit allows me to breathe, live, and appreciate this alien-like landscape. Far beyond, the gently glowing horizon marks the delicate edge of space. Almost home.”

“Surfacing” by Jean-Christophe Girard Lemay (Canada). Third Place, Nature.“Such a memorable day navigating the St. Lawrence (Quebec, Canada) on the CCGS Amundsen. A was assigned as official photographer for the scientific mission that took place on the ship, for two weeks and a half. On the fifth day, a beluga came to visit us very closely when we were stopped at the last sampling station. I knew I saw one earlier, but very far offshore. This time, it couldn’t have been closer than; it dived right in front of our eyes, and then came out often on the other side of the boat about fifteen minutes later, each time blowing air just before it hit the surface.”

“School Run, Rwanda” by Benjamin Buckland (Switzerland). First Place, Street Photography.“I drove down here in a wild storm. South towards Lake Rweru and the deepest source of the Nile. Pools of water on the road. Hard enough that my creaking windscreen wipers couldn’t keep pace and I stopped for a while. Peering downhill at Burundi through the mist. Rain intense enough that even the usually indomitable Rwandese cyclists disappeared from the road. But like all rain here at this time of year, it was quickly over. And the cyclists were back before I knew it. Rwanda. October 2019.”

“‘Rice Growers' by Jacopo Maria Della Valle (Italy). First Place, People.“Rice Growers” was shot in China, a country that’s quickly moving to industrialization and globalization. I went to China to find evidence of the ancient Chinese civilization, increasingly rare but not yet disappeared. China is one of the great producers and consumers of rice but near Lijiang, in Yunnan, women belonging to Bai, Naxi, and Yi ethnic tribes still harvest rice by hand, following their ancient traditions. They wear characteristic clothes, load heavy baskets full of rice on their shoulders, and move singing traditional songs.”

“Giant’s Causeway and figure, Northern Ireland” by Ugo Ricciardi (Italy). Third Place, Fine Art.“This picture, that is part of the “Nightscapes” series, was taken in Northern Ireland. The Giant’s Causeway is an ancient part of the coast. Is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. This place, so still and immovable, is illuminated by the moving light, that is fluid and changing. Two elements in contrast, and between them there is the figure of a man, on the top of the rock.”
And the cyclists were back before I knew it.
