Life moves quickly. Yet within that motion, some moments quietly shape who we are. A burst of laughter, a reflection on still water, a small act that says more than words ever could. The Shot on CAMON contest from TECNO celebrates these moments, turning them into living stories of connection and emotion.
This year, in partnership with Amateur Photographer magazine, TECNO invited people from across the world to take part in the global Shot on CAMON contest. Using the new CAMON 40 Series, photographers captured thousands of moments that show how technology can bring out creativity and emotion in equal measure. Together, these images reveal that photography is not only about seeing but about understanding the world around us.
TECNO’s Shot on CAMONL: Snap Every Pulse – The Rhythm of Everyday Life
Every city has its own rhythm. You can see it in the light, in the shadows, and in the quiet moments between sounds. The “Snap Every Pulse” theme is about finding that rhythm in everyday life.
One photo shows water splashing in the air. A boy reaches toward the sun, and the curve of the water matches the horizon behind him.
Another shows a small band playing in the street, filling the air with music while kids start to dance. In another picture, a pirate ship ride rises toward the sky, catching a single moment between fear and joy.
These photos remind us that beauty is everywhere. It’s in small things, in the right timing, and in seeing what’s already around us.
Snap All Fleeting Bonds: The Meaning of Connection
Connection is never still. It appears for a moment and disappears again, leaving behind a feeling that words cannot describe. The “Snap All Fleeting Bonds” theme captures that brief spark between people, showing how emotion and trust can exist in just a single frame.
One image shows a pair of hands meeting, skin against skin, turning a gesture into a story. Another shows a parent and child sharing a moment of joy on a swing, faces turned toward the wind. In a quieter photo, a girl and her cat share a look that speaks of comfort and care.
Each image tells us that connection is not about how close we stand but how deeply we see. In those brief overlaps between lives, the ordinary becomes unforgettable.
Snap Any Motion: The Art of Timing
Movement is one of the hardest things to capture in photography. The second a shutter closes, motion stops. Yet the best photographers find ways to keep their energy alive. “Snap Any Motion” explores that balance between control and spontaneity.
One frame shows a cyclist moving through the golden light of evening, his outline cutting across a web of cables. Another turns reflections into structure, using movement to create shape and rhythm. A third photo freezes a leap midair, holding the strength and risk of that single instant.
These photographers show that motion is not only about speed. It is about intent. They wait for the exact moment when everything aligns, then capture it before it disappears.
A Global Celebration of Vision
“Everyone has the power to create, to see the world differently, and to share that vision,” said TECNO CMO Laury Bai. “Through the Shot on CAMON contest, we celebrate universal creativity and bring the voices of emerging markets to the global stage.”
The Shot on CAMON contest officially ended on September 30, 2025, after collecting thousands of entries from every part of the world. With a total prize pool of $37,000 and a grand award of $10,000, the winning photos will soon be revealed.
Selected photographers will also take part in an exclusive photo tour in London. Their work will appear in TECNO’s global exhibitions, annual photo book, and across the brand’s official channels.
Through every image, TECNO shows that photography is more than technology. It is a way to see, to feel, and to share the beauty that lives in the smallest details of everyday life.
