One Shot, the photo contest on a kitesurf in Salento
One Shot
the photo contest on a kitesurf in Salento
Nothing can convey the beauty and
soul of a place like a beautiful photograph.
Besides the technological
eye capable of seeing better and
capturing even the slightest details,
there is the spirit, the approach and
the heart of the person behind the
camera, eager to capture the moment
and the many nuances of the
reality around us. When all this works
in unison, magic happens and a simple
snapshot becomes a story, a light
over the world, a celebration of the
art of living.
Sports too, especially if related to the
elements like the sea and the wind,
can take people to live and get to
know the territory, use its resources
and learn to respect it. This led to the
idea of a competition that brings the
love for photography and passion
for kitesurfing together, to tell and
enhance the charm of the incomparable
scenario of Salento, Puglia, one
of the most evocative coasts in the
Mediterranean.
The initiative is called One Shot Kitesurfing
in Salento - Winter Edition,
second edition of a photo competition
organized by the "Salento Bats"
Association, open to whoever wants
to try and tell about the Salento sea
in winter through a photograph and
the colours of kitesurf. "The success
of the first edition held last summer -
says Emanuele Rosafio, President of
Salento Bats – made us opt for a photo
contest also in the winter season.
