Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has kicked off in New York and Style Network is bringing you the first light field pictures from the runway. Lytro’s Director of Photography, Eric Cheng, is in New York capturing vibrant moments everywhere from behind the scenes to the streets of New York City.
Check out picture galleries from Czar by Cesar Galindo, L. Catherine London and 4 Corners of a Circle and Hope McGrath/Nastuko Kanno.
The world’s first light field photography contest will come to a conclusion in just a few more days, on Sunday, September 30.
No more dilly-dallying! Submit your light field pictures, or vote to be eligible to win a Lytro camera of your own.
Our newest Weekly Finalists in the Share the Fun Photography Contest include Ken Ezell, Kevin Gray, Juliet Fiss, Roger Hall, and Nancy Lundebjerg, who submitted this picture, “Fairy Wings.”
We’ve seen over 730 submissions that have been narrowed to 30 Weekly Finalists, with the help of our weekly guest judges:
Just five more Finalists will be selected with the help of David Pierce from The Verge, before director/photographer Vincent Laforet helps our regular panel of judges, Eric Cheng, Heather Champ, and Koci Hernandez determine the Grand Prize winner.
You don’t need a camera to get involved. Your vote helps determine who becomes a Weekly Finalist, and gives you a chance to win a Lytro camera of your own.
Fifteen Weekly Finalists’ pictures now are featured in the Lytro Picture Gallery, including this one by Glen Vigus. Our Share the Fun Photography Contest was designed to highlight the creativity and photographic skills of new light field photographers. Congratulations to Greg Tokarski, Jeff Wilson, Joe D’Anna, and Mike Frank, who also became Finalists this week.
All of the Finalists are eligible to win the Grand Prize, a Master Light Field Photography Lesson with Eric Cheng plus five Lytro cameras to share with very good friends. You could win a camera of your own too. Voters are entered in a sweepstakes with three new winners selected each week.
Next week’s guest judge is Coco Rocha, the first high fashion model photographed with the Lytro camera. Besides walking the runway for top designers, including Jean Paul Gaultier, Coco is frequently featured in the pages of top fashion magazines around the world, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, W, and Elle. She also actively volunteers for charities such as the Children’s Aid Society.
