Lentes: TAMRON 28-75 mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2
Distância focal: 41 mm
Exposição: F10, 1/100 seg., ISO 400
Declaração dos juízes: "Esta fotografia captura um momento verdadeiramente mágico, em que as cores suaves do pôr do sol, a neblina baixa e os penhascos imponentes se combinam para criar uma cena etérea e coesa. A neblina não apenas melhora o clima, mas também serve como uma linha condutora, guiando o observador mais profundamente na paisagem e evocando uma sensação de admiração. O timing perfeito, a composição cuidadosa e a habilidade técnica elevam essa imagem, tornando-a um exemplo de destaque de uma excelente fotografia de paisagem."
Roy’s Statement: I’ve always felt deeply connected to nature. For a long time now, my parents haven’t been able to travel for health reasons, so I capture images like this for them. During a family trip to Yosemite last year, I spotted this low-lying fog—weather I’d waited more than a decade for during past visits. On that cold morning, the light and scene were changing pretty quickly. I was able to capture all of the beauty and drama without any chromatic aberration or lens flare thanks to the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 G2 lens. It’s lightweight, produces sharp images, and has a constant large F2.8 aperture that’s perfect for low-light conditions like blue hour or Milky Way shots.

Distância focal: 48 mm
Exposição: F8.0, 0,80 seg., ISO 200
Ruthruff’s Statement: Lightning strikes so quickly and often evokes fear, causing many to overlook its beauty. One night last August, when I noticed a pulse storm forming just north of me, I raced to a nearby vantage point, arriving just as the storm began dropping lightning bolts at sunset. It turned out to be one of the most breathtaking storms I’ve ever witnessed. What I really appreciate about the Tamron 28-200mm lens is its compositional versatility, making it perfect for storm photography. Its ample range allows me to capture wide-angle shots when storms are close and zoomed-in details of storms as they move away, all without switching lenses.

Distância focal: 282 mm
Exposição: F10, 1/40 seg., ISO 1000
McDade’s Statement: I arrived at this location and began shooting a time lapse on my Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 lens to capture the entire mountain during sunrise on a reflection pool. Having the 50-400mm VC on a separate body, however, allowed me to “run and gun” to chase the light as it unfolded, and to really punch in from a distance to isolate areas of the alpenglow. The light emergence brought out such a vibrancy of color, juxtaposed by those shadow elements.

Lentes: TAMRON 28-75 mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2
Distância focal: 62 mm
Exposição: F5, 1/800 seg., ISO 1250
Declaração dos juízes: "Essa imagem vencedora se destacou por sua capacidade de cativar, despertar a curiosidade e prender a atenção do espectador. Ela combina o impacto emocional, por meio da expressão natural e do olhar do sujeito, com uma composição visual forte, equilibrando o espaço negativo e positivo de forma eficaz. A combinação de autenticidade e estilo editorial fez com que fosse a escolha de destaque entre uma seleção impressionante de retratos."
Landis’ Statement: The Tamron 28-75mm G2 lens is a great lens for portraits, especially when short on space like I was in this stairwell at Lisbon’s fabled Palacio do Grilo restaurant. The sun was strong that afternoon, so we went inside and found nice light streaming in the window. I positioned my model, Lia, so that classic Rembrandt light would fall on her face. The high contrast of the strong sunlight on one side of her face and the dark blacks of her headscarf in the shade were challenging, so I chose to expose for the lit side of her face, taking care that her shaded eye was still visible. I like to portray women as strong and powerful, which I think comes across here.

Lentes: TAMRON 35-150 mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD
Distância focal: 39 mm
Exposição: F2.8, 1/160 seg., ISO 400
Hann’s Statement: For this shot of model Liz Ashley, I wanted to create soft background separation and keep the focus on Liz’s expression. My goal in portraits like this is always to convey both vulnerability and strength—to capture a cinematic stillness that invites the viewer in. I shot this on the second floor of a historic building where soft natural light was streaming in through the tall windows. I noticed how the light highlighted her hair and asked her to rest against the sofa in thoughtful stillness. The curve of the davenport naturally leads the eye to her, making it a subtle compositional anchor. Lighting was the biggest challenge—balancing shadow and highlight without losing detail or mood. Shooting wide helped maintain that soft, cinematic depth.

Lentes: TAMRON 28-75 mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2
Distância focal: 70 mm
Exposição: F7.1, 1/200 seg., ISO 200
Atadero’s Statement: Fighters go through a lot of intense training to keep their bodies in the best shape possible. I wanted to take a picture that would highlight the results of their dedication to the sport. After a few shots of Simon with soft lighting, I decided to add some kind of intensity to the photo as a whole. I knew it would make for a compelling picture if he was yelling, but loud noises weren’t allowed in the studio, and Simon pretending to yell wasn’t really convincing. Instead, I had him exhale as hard as he could, to emulate a yell.

Diego Rebello
De: Vancouver, Canadá
Lentes: TAMRON 50-400 mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD
Distância focal: 400 mm
Exposição: F6.3, 1/2000 seg., ISO 3200
Declaração dos juízes: "Esta imagem do papagaio-do-mar do Atlântico se destaca por sua excepcional execução técnica e apelo visual atraente. A iluminação suave, o foco nítido e a exposição perfeita destacam lindamente os detalhes intrincados da ave, enquanto o fundo simples e a profundidade de campo rasa garantem que ela continue sendo o ponto focal. A adição de uma vinheta curva e cores vibrantes complementa ainda mais a composição, criando uma imagem impressionante e cativante."
Rebello’s Statement: My mission was to capture this Atlantic puffin almost like a portrait: just the bird, its expression, and all the fine details that make it unique. I wanted it to tell its own story with no distractions, clean lines, a soft background, and beautiful color contrast to let it truly stand out. It was early morning, with the sun rising behind thick clouds as I lay on the ground watching puffins in their habitat. I simply waited for a quiet moment, and the Tamron 50-400mm captured it beautifully. I was also chasing the right light. I wanted the sun to hit the back of the puffin’s head, creating depth and balancing out its heavy beak, while still keeping the eye as the focal point.

Alexandre Lafontaine
De: Quebec, Canadá
Lentes: TAMRON SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2
Distância focal: 400m
Exposição: F7.1, 1/1000 seg., ISO 1250
Lafontaine’s Statement: The mother fox in this image had returned to her den just as the sun was setting over the nearby sea. During a moment of play with her young, she stopped and gazed intensely at the setting sun while one of the kits stood in her shadow. The elegance of their pose and the dramatic light made the image unique. A scene like this with multiple subjects necessitated stopping down a bit to make sure both foxes were in focus. The versatility of the Tamron 150-600mm VC G2 lens, meanwhile, allowed me to pull my zoom back and capture both subjects when they approached more closely than expected—a prime lens wouldn’t have offered me that flexibility.

Exposição: 1/400 seg., ISO 250
Barquet’s Statement: I was the guide for a photography trip in Namibia when we encountered this desert elephant during golden hour. I aim to portray nature as untouched and authentic as possible, so I decided to highlight the elephant’s skill in reaching fresh leaves high up in the trees. It was a spontaneous, magical moment that deeply moved the whole group. Keeping a respectful distance while working fast as the light faded was key. The 35-150mm’s quick autofocus helped me capture the moment without disturbing the animal.

Sandra Lim
De: Walled Lake, MI
Lentes: TAMRON 24 mm F/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2
Distância focal: 24 mm
Exposição: F11, 0,40 seg., ISO 250
Declaração dos juízes: "Essa imagem vencedora cativa com seu uso magistral de iluminação dramática, destacando as delicadas nervuras e a textura dos cogumelos. O foco preciso e os tons impressionantes em preto e branco aumentam a profundidade e a clareza, criando uma composição macro ousada e visualmente impactante. A atenção cuidadosa do fotógrafo aos detalhes resulta em uma imagem impressionante que combina elementos tradicionais com sutileza artística."
Lim’s Statement: I’d just started growing my own oyster mushrooms and was fascinated by the delicate structures of the gills and their overall growth process. My goal here was to highlight the gill structure and form of the mushrooms in a more artistic way—something more expressive rather than purely documentary. I used high-contrast lighting to help emphasize texture, form, and beauty and make it more dramatic. I initially tried using flash but couldn’t get the look I wanted, so I switched to a normal handheld flashlight and used a longer exposure to paint light exactly where I wanted it. I love the Tamron 24mm’s close focusing ability here and its wider angle, which lets me show the bigger picture while still capturing those up-close details.

Spiros’ Statement: “I’m always looking to capture the fleeting scenes that are right in front of us, especially those presented in nature. This photo was captured at a tropical botanical garden here in Miami, where the abundant vegetation fills one with awe. The shell’s beautiful swirl caught my eye, naturally tucked into its lush backdrop. Light was a challenge in this scene, as the tree canopy above blocked out much of the natural light, but I was in good hands with a wide aperture, allowing me to strike the right balance in the settings for this photo.”

Hill’s Statement: I love to photograph cactus flowers—the petal textures, stamen, and pistil provide so many opportunities to capture interesting details. In this photo, I was trying to capture the delicate beauty of the center of the flower while using the petal edges to create leading lines to draw the viewer into the image. The biggest challenge was getting the right light to define the petal edges, create subtle shadows, and highlight the pastels. I prefer to shoot at sunrise, before direct sunlight hits, as cactus flowers tend to be translucent and a bit shiny. The indirect light created a nice glow in the petals without causing harsh reflections. In this case, I got a late start, so I used a diffuser to shade the cactus.

Lentes: TAMRON 28-75 mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 E
150-500 mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD
Declaração dos juízes: "Esse vídeo foi selecionado por sua combinação perfeita de filmagem suave, gradação de cores precisa e design de som envolvente. Momentos memoráveis, como a filmagem em câmera lenta do babador e do pó nas cenas da barbearia, destacaram-se por seu impacto visual. A capacidade de revelar a beleza em momentos cotidianos por meio de um ritmo intencional, edição cuidadosa e uma narração atraente destaca o forte potencial criativo e a expressão artística com o vidro Tamron."
Barrera’s Statement: My goal is always to make the viewer feel as if they’re in the scene, experiencing it all with me. For this clip of the Ferris wheel, I layered in sound effects of laughter and the buzzing energy of amusement park rides, drawing the viewer deeper in and igniting a sense of curiosity. Each scene came with its own set of challenges, particularly when it came to low-light conditions. But with a large F2.8 aperture at my disposal, I was able to focus on capturing the visuals instead of struggling with my gear. Combining the Tamron 28-75mm G2 with the 150-500mm VC offered me the perfect blend of versatility.
