Mobile Photography Prize's Behind the Picture #1
Eugene Schemilin lives in the city of Norilsk in Northern Russia where he works as a mechanic in a famous nickel mining and smelting company. Recalling the moment when he took this image, he writes: “The northern summer is short, but it brings a unique light almost all day long. On a polar day, the sun does not set over the horizon. I walked along the outskirts of Norilsk, lost in my thoughts and suddenly I saw the building of a store, an old one from Soviet times.
Emil Nolde flowers
Emil Nolde was a leading German Expressionist painter and graphic artist who was a member of the artist group Die Brücke from 1906-1907. He considered color to be the most important means of artistic expression, and was influenced by van Gogh, Gauguin and Munch in his bold and liberal use of color in his compositions, where shapes took second place to color. Nolde is regarded as one of the great watercolor painters and one of the best colorists of the 20th century due to his paintings being known for their intense quality, distorted drawing, and turbulent color.

This exhibition from 1st Nov - 29th Dec at Hamiltons Gallery in London features works by Edward Steichen, Francesca Woodman, and Deborah Turbeville exploring ambiguity and obscurity. The abstract photographs can be interpreted in different ways by viewers and express themes of isolation and feeling unseen. Edward Steichen's black and white images convey a gloomy mood, while Francesca Woodman's works feature nude figures with obscured faces to give a sense of isolation.
Paul klee
Paul Klee was a Swiss-German artist known for his abstract paintings that expressed ideas and emotions through colors, shapes, and lines rather than realistic depictions. He was inspired by children's art and would borrow directly from their drawings, producing works that resembled dreamlike places through simple but beautiful compositions. His most famous painting may be "Red Balloon", an abstract piece that uses symbolic shapes and colors.

Pixels are the smallest controllable elements that make up an image. A pixel is represented by a single dot on a screen and together they create digital images. The number of pixels determines the resolution or level of detail in an image. More pixels allow for higher resolution images. Color depth, measured in bits per pixel, determines the number of colors or shades that can be displayed by each pixel. Digital cameras use light-sensitive sensors made of millions of photosites that function like pixels to convert light into digital images.
