Not only does Kat use repetition to great effect, but they also excel at finding gorgeous details in what appear to be mid-century mechanical objects that feature pleasing repetitive patterns. Black and white is an excellent choice for these images, as it tends to draw your eye to the objects and their repetition, rather than letting colors become a distraction.

It’s so easy to get lost in Anna’s photography. We especially love the rich tones and textures she captures. As an expat in Dubai, her perspective is endlessly fascinating, and her ability to tell visual stories is something truly special. Make sure to check out the rest of her profile, too! She’s been a valued and prolific member for years, with a distinct and diverse collection of images.

Arthur’s images pull you into intimate moments that feel completely unexpected. You’re right there in the scene, but the subjects remain blissfully unaware of the camera, letting you sneak a peek into their lives. That’s the magic of great street photography, and Arthur nails it. Shooting during golden hour adds a touch of magic too, bathing his subjects in an ethereal glow that warms and softens every frame.

October’s Monthly Category is Industrial which invites you to explore photography where architecture merges with machinery. Capture the beauty in the sweeping lines of factories, the rhythm of assembly lines, and the intricate complexity of infrastructure — with maybe a little smoke and steam thrown in for good measure.

Whether it’s on sweltering beaches of Greece or cool rock covered shores of Norway Evy makes us all want to be there. There’s a distinct contrast with both locations, but the way she frames each shot gives them that unmistakeable magic of Summer. We’re trying to hold on to the last days of summer too, so sit back and enjoy these moments with Evy.

Truthfully, sometimes broad Categories worry us. Flora encompasses so much photographic material that it could have ended up feeling disjointed. But instead, it ended up feeling like a wonderful weekend spent in the trees, stopping to smell the flowers. Even sprinkled in a bit of Fauna? Too good.

There's a discipline to shoot the same subject over and over. But that discipline is fertile ground for magic to grow. Ralph's raindrops are an excellent example of that magic. Seemingly out after after every storm, Ralph keeps iterating on the same subject with stunning results.
