Location, location, location… That’s what this category is all about, because Playground by WhiteWall calls for images that capture environments which inspire the athlete’s every move. Whether it’s an undiscovered valley, an underwater cave, or simply the local hangout around the corner; these images show us where you play. As Ryan Creary, one of this year’s semi-finalists can tell you, there’s a lot to consider when shooting adventure and action sports photography, “Being able to showcase the weather and elements alongside the action is when I am most creatively fulfilled.”
There’s an entire world of adventure and action sports out there and these images show us the wild and jaw-dropping places athletes play in. Congratulations to all of the semi-finalists of the Playground by WhiteWall category!
