Joshua Hasanoff, a 14-year-old from Sydney, Australia, is shortlisted for the Sony World Photography Awards youth competition. His stunning photo captures the fleeting beauty of a winter sunset, which he prepared for by planning meticulously. With only a 20-minute window to shoot, he creatively juxtaposed a torchlit scene with natural light. The photo depicts his neighbor, Ryuji, styled as a DJ, fixing a car with what Hasanoff describes as a serendipitous turntable inside. Influenced by Gregory Crewdson, Hasanoff emphasizes the storytelling power of light and shadow in photography.
The Australian winter sunset is notoriously fast-moving... I knew I'd only have a 20-minute window to capture the mysterious light between sunset and darkness.
I was inspired by the work of Gregory Crewdson. He's an epic photographer who uses light to tell a story. I think the play between light, dark and shadow is central to this image.
