Cape Camera June 2023

Joint winner PDI - Open (Advanced) Benin Voodoo Ceremony
by Roger Trythall (24). An impactful image in its colour, ac-
tion and intrigue. The expressions in the faces of the people
in the background are fascinating, although it is very busy
and could have been toned down marginally to make the
voodoo man stand out more. Try to create a separation be-
tween the man and the crowd without losing the expres-
sions on the faces and the interesting details.

You can find pictures anywhere. It’s
simply a matter of noticing things
and organising them. You just have

to care about what’s around you
and have a concern with humanity

and the human comedy.”
- Elliott Erwitt

All the planning, intuition, technical prowess, and knowledge, as well as the
trust and rapport you have (or haven’t) established, will show up in the picture,

frozen forever.
