My intent was to capture the life of night workers. Shift work, even at night and on holidays, often affects workers psychophysically. The requirements imposed by the “society of work” do not recognize the natural alternations of day and night and workers' biological clocks." — Lay Off de Benedetta Ristori, Roma, Italia.

Imagen Alterada

Synchronous Fireflies by Radim Schreiber of Fairfield, Iowa , United States "I took this photo of fireflies (lightning bugs) in almost complete darkness using the latest low-light camera technology.

Alteration note: I took several long exposures over several minutes and merged them together to preserve detail and clarity." — Synchronous Fireflies de Radim Schreiber.

Móvil

The China Red by Jian Wang of Beijing, China "In front of this Chinese red wall walks a lady in a red dress." — The China Red, de Jian Wang (Beijing, China)
