NATURE IN THE CITY

Exploring the relationship between the natural and built environments.

The key to a compelling image is context—it’s not enough to simply photograph a tree, flower, bird, or animal. The image should clearly convey that nature exists within the city. Include recognizable urban elements that give the scene a sense of place while also showcasing the defining characteristics of the natural subject, whether it’s vegetation reclaiming an urban space or wildlife adapting to city life.

Just as important is originality. Challenge yourself to move beyond the obvious and show us this relationship in a fresh, creative, and unexpected way. The strongest images not only tell the story of how nature and the city coexist, but do so with a unique perspective that makes us see the familiar in a new light.
