Our Achievers: Photography
Shadow Photography pinches the real stuff
Five winners from four
Islamic countries were
chosen as winners of the
September edition of one
of the most prestigious contests
held under the patronage of the
Dubai Crown Prince.
The Hamdan bin Mohammed
bin Rashid Al Maktoum
International Photography
Award (HIPA) had ‘Shadows’ as
the theme for the latest contest.
HIPA Secretary General Ali bin
Thalith said that a large number
of submissions came from international
photographers following
the organisation’s Instagram
Account (@HIPAae) under the
hashtag #HPIAContest_Shadows.
Following were the winners:
Mr Thalith said that the photographers
were tested with a
challenging and complex subject
matter in the September
Instagram Photo Contest.
“A lot of skills are required
from a photographer to creatively
display shadows in his/
her photographs, and the winners
have proven themselves to
be some of the best at applying
their skills to produce stunning
photography. We are encouraged
by the healthy number of
participations the contest is seeing
as we have witnessed over
8000 submissions since the
launch in May. Our sincere congratulations
go to all our winners
and we look forward to
more creative submissions next
month,” he said.

Kuwaiti photographer and
Instagram Photo contest winner
Ahmad Akbar said, “This photograph
(@ahmad_akbar) was
taken in South Korea in 2013
when I noticed the shadow of
a tree filling up the whole wall.
It looked like a painting. I was
lucky to find a monk walking by
allowing me to reflect the country’s
culture with my visionary
painting.”
Ricco Suganda (@
Riccosuganda) from Indonesia
was also an Instagram Photo
Contest winner in September
with his photograph taken in
West Sumatra, Indonesia.
He said, “I was photographing
with friends and was looking
through knitted fabrics to use
and create light shapes from the
Sun, which fortunately achieved
the desired results for me. The
is the biggest award that I have
attained in my career and will
motivate me to work even harder
in the future.”
The theme for the October
edition of the Instagram Photo
Contest is ‘Children.’
Entries can be submitted
through hashtag
#HIPAContest_Children.
