UPY 2026 Up & Coming - Highly Commended
'Hells Bells'
Gabriel König
The origin of the "Hells Bells" remains a mystery to this day. Chemical or even biological processes could have created these structured calcium deposits. We used a backlit silhouette method to showcase these beautiful features in el Zapote, Cancun Mexico. The picture takes the viewer into the darknes, the crystal clear waters and showcases the hundreds of formations that lay within the Cenotes. This collaborative picture was only possible with the help from my good friends and my partner.
Judge's comment: We all thought this was a highly original take and very well choreographed. Almost mysterious with differing poses and creative lighting, it creates a new, fresh image which illustrates the up and coming talent behind the camera.
