Solitary structures, low light captures and a tintype portrait
Yesterday was World Photography Day – how did you celebrate? Did you head out with your camera, or perhaps dust off an old project that's been waiting for your attention?
If inspiration didn't strike yesterday, our weekly feature highlighting images entered into the Open competition might be just the creative spark you need!
This week brings you a compelling mix of images: stunning low-light shots where light takes centre stage, a tintype diptych featuring a parakeet named Buddy, and striking solitary structures that command attention.
Don't forget to enter the Sony World Photography Awards 2026. You could win a range of cash prizes, have your photography showcased in worldwide exhibitions, receive Sony Digital Imaging equipment, benefit from a career-development day, and much more!
