Thank you to all the photographers that shared their shots experimenting with the sun light in this photo contest in collaboration with friend & professional photographer Michael Bonocore. Michael has been a fixture in the photography industry for over seven years and will be selecting the winning images for this contest! "If my clothes, my camera and my tripod aren't dirty, then I'm not trying hard enough".

Michael began working with international nonprofit organizations to help bring awareness to the causes that he was passionate about. Through the workshops that he leads for The Giving Lens, he has taught children the art of photography in countries such as Nicaragua, Peru, Jordan, and India. He has documented the work of elephant sanctuaries in Thailand and he has helped bring awareness to women’s cooperatives in the Middle East.

In addition to being an ambassador for Matador Network, Michael is also a frequent contributor to photography websites Fstoppers, PetaPixel, Borrow Lenses, and SmugMug.
Michael Bonocore recently founded and is principal of Bonocore Visual Studios, LLC, a photography and videography media company.
