25 PHOTOS

#1 White Fang © Bence Mate

This leopard was feeding on the carcass of a wildebeest, which we had been observing and photographing from quite a close distance. At one point, a hyena appeared in the area and made the leopard mad with its distinctive laughing sound and pacing back and forth. The big cat would not give up his prey easily: in a threatening posture, baring his fangs and snorting, he proved to the hyena that he was the stronger one. This was enough until the hyena was joined by a companion, and then another. The leopard was finally outnumbered and chased up the tree, losing its prey.

#3 The Black Hole From The Series 'Frozen Ponds In The Barycz Valley' © Jakub Wencek

My name is Jakub Wencek and I am a forester and nature photographer. Nature photography is my passion since I remember. I love to take photographs of the forest and nature because, at this particular moment, I'm often in awe of all the secrets it has within it. Taking photos of nature I would like to invite you on a journey to my forest, which shows me its secrets very often... You can find stories closed in frames in my photos. You can see there the eternal fight between light and shadow.
Every scene tells us about a different story, which happened. All my photos, which are placed here, are unique because they are a record of a very short, little moment that will never happen again.

#10 Interpolation 7 © Sander Vos

'Interpolation' creates surreal worlds that challenge our visual perception. It’s not documenting reality as captured directly from the camera but using photography to deconstruct and ultimately, to create new realities through layering and image manipulation. A fragment of a face and a shard of a geometric pattern merge into one. Together, they become the building blocks for a newly constructed visual world. One that evokes a sense of nostalgia for a dreamlike future.
