Monthly Photography Challenge - August

Natalie ✨

Theme: People & Portraits 📸

Welcome to another instalment of the Nothing Community Monthly Photography Challenge! @Rob ⚡️, @Mattia ☀️ and I loved seeing everyone’s entries for last month’s theme, ‘Night Photography’.

Shoutout to @peotus, @HariSankarD and @ReetikSatapathy who shot some of our favourite photos last month. You can check out their entries here.

This month’s theme is ‘People & Portraits’ - we’re going back to one of last year’s themes to see how a change in time and season influences your portraits. As the seasons change, so do the opportunities for capturing unique and evocative portraits.

Perhaps, like us here in London, you are experiencing sunnier days and can use the sunlight to illuminate your subject and take some portraits. Perhaps you’ll explore a new area and try out some street photography. Or maybe you’ll get creative and set up a fashion shoot, asking your model to wear specific colours to complement the surroundings or the season’s mood. Whatever direction you choose, let the changing environment inspire fresh perspectives and creativity in your work.

Drop your photos under this post and be sure to share the story behind the image, plus what device and settings you used! Be sure to tag #withNothing on social media if you’ve shot with a Nothing Phone. We’ll share our top 3 favourites here on nothing.community.

Below are examples shot by @DmitryNovikov and @DW1037 on CMF Phone 1 during the London photowalk. We were blessed with beautiful weather, a stark contrast from the previous walk we hosted during winter.

Natalie ✨ Do the portraits have to have people in them? Or can they be of objects?

Thanks to Natalie ✨ for hosting such contests!

Here’s a picture which I took from Nothing phone 2(a) … That day it rained a lot … and I wanted to shoot something that No one had tried to do soo, I used the help of a water mirror on the ground instead of a real mirror… I hope you like it !

🏬🛍️ Exploring the Streets of Bukit Bintang Pavilion: A Portrait of Urban Vibrance (Sun, 25th August 2024)

Walking through the busy streets of Bukit Bintang Pavilion, I noticed the sky threatening rain, but that didn’t stop people from enjoying their day. The area was full of life, with shoppers and diners everywhere. Amidst all this, I spotted a giant, fluffy cat mascot bringing smiles to everyone. It was a fun and surprising moment, making the busy street feel a bit magical. This photo captures that unexpected joy—a reminder that even on an ordinary day, something delightful can happen.

The newly built Merdeka 118 Tower stood tall in the background, while the monorail passed by, adding to the dynamic urban scene. 🚝 🏢

P.S. taken with Nothing phone 1 with Portrait & Normal Mode📱 ✨

I’ve recently discovered the joy of morning walks in the park! The lovely weather, the cheerful birds chirping, and the chance to see people exercising together really brighten my day. Plus, I can’t resist all the adorable dogs and cats I come across! I even captured three cute cat portraits during one of my walks!

I use the EXPERT mode with 2x zoom for this shots
