Architecture: 3rd Place Winner 2023 (professional)
Nabatea by Nigel Malone (Australia)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The name of this image comes from the Nabateans - an ancient culture you might be more familiar with for their Architecture sculpted in stone at Petra in Jordan. They also travelled to what is now the remote deserts of Arabia, where this photograph was taken. For this image shot on film, I used a vintage rangefinder camera. I wanted a similar feel as the historic black and white images from the time of the discovery of the great pyramids, the time of Howard Carter - that can only come from vintage lenses.
