Reflection and Resilience
2020 was defined by global struggle, crisis and resilience. In the wake of last year, global photography award Portrait of Humanity returns with a vast and moving exploration of what it means to be human. The prize was conceived by 1854 and
British Journal of Photography to show that “across oceans and borders, there is more that unites us than sets as apart.” At this moment in history, these messages of hope, courage and connection are more important than ever.
One such example is featured above. Paolo Barretta’s poignant portrait of masked lovers is one of 30 winning images, capturing the artist’s best friend and boyfriend after three months of distance due to quarantine. “There are so many reasons why I consider this picture so important to me,” the photographer says. “Itâs not just portraying someone kissing. This is the story of people who fight, people who resist, people who stay together against this crazy world.”
Free photographer-designed presets for Pixelmator Pro and Pixelmator Photo
Over the last 8 months or so, we’ve been showcasing the great work of users of our apps on our Instagram profile. If you haven’t yet had a chance to check it out, you definitely should! In that time, we’ve been able to share the work of some really great photographers and we thought – why don’t we ask them to create some presets for everyone in the community? So that’s exactly what we did. And today, we’ve got three collections of color adjustment presets for Pixelmator Pro and Pixelmator Photo designed by three great photographers. We also asked them to answer a few questions so we can all get to know them better.
