“This image is part of a portfolio that I have been working on for several years in a fishing village in Guerrero, Mexico. I have been attending the ritual for several years when the fishermen arrive early in the morning with the catch they obtained during the night. This image expresses the energy of the birds as they receive their first meal of the day.“⠀
Bored PandacontactedKevin Blackwell, a photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia, whose image titled “Ant-mimic Jumping Spider” earned him the 3rd prize in the Nature/Macro category for non-professional photographers. We were curious to learn about the inspiration behind his pursuit of nature and macro photography. Kevin shared with us: “I’ve always had a passion for photography as a medium for storytelling. My love for showcasing the tiny awesomeness of animals has evolved into a mission to bring people closer to these fascinating creatures, allowing them to appreciate the beauty and intricate details that often go unnoticed.”
“When the light passes through the stained glass of the window and shines on the carpet patterns and tiled lilies, It creates such a beautiful charter that we see it together.”
When asked how he encountered this particular species for his shot, Blackwell told us: “The slender ant-mimic jumping spider (Synemosyna formica) is my favorite species of arachnids, fortunately found throughout my state. Once you understand this species' behavior, you can find these beauties walking under the leaves of trees. I specifically wanted to photograph this species, so I went out to find it!”

“The iconic photo of Garrett McNamara riding what everyone called the “100-foot wave”, likely the world’s biggest wave ever surfed, at Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal.“⠀
Finally, we were interested in learning about upcoming projects or subjects the photographer is excited to explore in his future endeavors, particularly in the realm of nature and macro photography. We discovered that: “I do have some exciting photography projects unrelated to wildlife photography that I am currently working on and will be posting about very soon. As for wildlife, I am always looking for the next thing to shoot—large or small. Additionally, I am the photographer for The Amphibian Foundation in Atlanta, providing many exciting opportunities to photograph amphibians. Spotted salamander season is upon us, so I am definitely looking forward to some salamander awesomeness!”
“A bunch of adult and sub-adult African lionesses huddle together on a cold, gloomy morning in Maasai Mara National Reserve. As the Sun began rising in front of the statue-like group, their eyes started to glitter like stars through the dingy atmosphere.”
“Ant mimicking spiders imitate ants to gain two advantages: they deter certain predators who prefer other prey over ants, and their prey feels less threatened, providing these spiders with better chances to hunt and attack.”
“This image was shot from a campaign in Morocco for a Portuguese beach towel brand called Futah. For this campaign the idea was to find textures shapes and colors that can be only found in the Sahara Desert, creating this unique and captivating mood.“⠀
“Over the years, dancers wear out shoe after shoe. Much to the detriment of a parent’s pocketbook, young dancers grow out of shoes season after season.” ⠀
“A group of flamingos flying over the city of Abu Dhabi on a morning when fog covers the city, and you can only see parts of the skyscrapers.”
“During my trip in 2019, I met this women at a hostel in Bagan, Myanmar. She tearfully shared her story of being forced to quit her beloved job in childcare and coerced into running the hostel.”
“Bakhmut is a small town in the Donetsk region that should have become another victim of the Russian occupation in the first months of the invasion of Ukraine. Nonetheless, the town has been desperately standing against the fierce onslaught of the Russian army for over a year, and now it is one of the bloodiest places in this war.”
“It is always fascinating for me what happens when we change our perspective, our angle of vision. Often we realize only then what hidden beauty awaits us.”
