【Phoneauto News】On July 30th, the special event of vivo 2023 Image Festival was held in Xining. As the core platform of vivo’s image culture, the winners of the 2023 vivo Image Plus Mobile Photography Competition (hereinafter referred to as the “competition”) were officially announced at the event. This competition, in collaboration with vivo’s global image strategic partner Zeiss, is based on the core concept of “everyone is a creator” and invites vivo phone users from around the world to submit their works in six categories: portrait, group, landscape, night scene, sports, and events. The competition invited five image masters and experts from different fields, including Bertram Hoenlinger, a Zeiss photography expert, Francesco Gola, the Zeiss mobile photography ambassador, Rong Rong, a photography artist and curator, Xiao Quan, a portrait photographer, and Yu Meng, the vice president of vivo’s imaging department, to select the winners. In the end, 21 groups of winning works stood out.

Among the winning works in the six categories, “Let Me Fly” created by Indonesian photographer Jiehan Herry Saputro won the Best Work of the Year in the 2023 vivo Image Plus Mobile Photography Competition. This series of works captures the image of a group of children growing up by the seaside, turning the ocean into their exclusive playground, and happily jumping into the sea from the boat. The creator used the vivo X70 Pro to capture the pure and warm smiles and graceful postures of the children. Their soaring bodies are filled with passionate emotions, evoking the beautiful memories of childhood in the hearts of every viewer.

The “portrait” category has won many emotionally powerful character portraits, where subtle eye expressions and facial expressions give the works a strong narrative, intuitively showcasing the expressive power hidden in images. The champion work of this category, “Life Written on the Face,” was captured by Indian photographer Pradiptamoy Paul using the vivo X80 5G. Through highly vivid close-ups of facial expressions, the focus of attention is directed towards a farmer.

The “Events” unit aims to accurately capture and restore current events, demonstrating the important significance of timely news documentary.

The strong black and white contrast adds a wordless sense of tension to this moment.

And “The Tension of Life” also used the vivo X90 Pro+ to capture the decisive moment of a person’s jump shot, with a large area of vibrant colors of the background buildings contrasting with the blue sky, creating a strong visual impact.
