EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Martin Bernetti, the vibrant energy of Chile's youth shines through as children ride their skateboards against a breathtaking sunset backdrop. The image captures a moment of pure joy and freedom, showcasing the power of leisure sports in bringing communities together. Taken at Punta Lobos beach in Pichilemu, approximately 300 km south of Santiago, Chile, these young skateboarders have just witnessed Chiles Big Waves contest. As the sun sets behind them, casting a warm glow on the scene, their silhouettes are beautifully outlined against the horizon. The composition is offbeat and dynamic; it perfectly illustrates the spirit and determination that skateboarding represents to these children. With each jump and trick they perform with grace and skill, they defy gravity while embracing their individuality. Bernetti's expert use of backlighting adds depth to this illustration-like photograph. It accentuates every detail - from the curves of their boards to their outstretched limbs - creating an almost ethereal atmosphere. This image serves as a testament to how skateboarding transcends borders and cultures as a universal language understood by all who partake in its thrill. It reminds us that even amidst challenging times or harsh environments, there is always room for self-expression and camaraderie through leisure sports like skateboarding.
