Tieshu Zhu;Eternal Anticipation;A lone figure perched upon the board, a surfer waits in anticipation, suspended between the calmness of the vast ocean and the imminent rush of adrenaline. The composition captures a moment of serene stillness, emphasizing the surfer's connection with the elements and the unwavering determination to ride the waves. Through this image, the essence of patience and the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature are poetically portrayed, inviting us to contemplate the anticipation and exhilaration that awaits us in life's unfolding moments.
Arshpreet Kaur;Cake lover;A day before my cousins 6th birthday, he hurt his hand and spent the night at the doctors. He got home very late on his birthday but we were determined to have a party since he loves birthday cakes. While all the adults were busy talking, he ate on the sly and I managed to capture it.
Arshpreet Kaur;Avoiding Work;This was taken when I told my mum I was cleaning my room. I had a good playlist on and was doing my work when I noticed the sunset from my window and instantly started shooting away.
Arshpreet Kaur;Maroon Rising;This is taken from inside a local temple I have grown up in. This particular part featuring the glass has been my favourite for a very long time.
