Virgil Reglioni
The Rewinder
Virgil grew up in a small town between Lyon and Switzerland, and left France in may 2011 to explore the world, and discover his passions for the great outdoors and photography.
After building connections through-out the world during some backpacking years, he began cumulating nature and outdoor guiding experiences from 2016 until now. This leads him to discover challenging environments where his photography skills thrive.
This huge passion pushes him everyday and night to improve and became now part of his everyday life. NorthernLights became a unique feature of his photography style and leads him to build powerful and constructive compositions around them.virgilreglioni.com

Sunrise/Sunset
First Prize
Craig Crosthwaite
Bay Of Fires Sunrise
I started surfing at the age of 8 and 50 years later I’m still catching waves. Surfing has given me a passion for the water and an understanding of the elements, wind, waves and weather. I have also loved photography, but had limited knowledge of the wonderful things you could achieve through capturing light. So, 4 years ago I undertook a course at RMIT in Melbourne and ignited a passion for all things photographic.
I have combined my love of the ocean and my sense of adventure with my newly acquired skills (an old dog can learn new tricks) to see where it leads me.
