GuruShots: Winning images from the latest Tell a Story photo challenge

GuruShots - Tell a Story March 2025.

One of the greatest photo games you will ever play, GuruShots is a super fun and competitive online platform (and app) that provides photographers with not only a place to showcase their images, but a chance to gain unmatched global exposure for their work and bag themselves some prizes and bragging rights in the process.

There's no harm in a little friendly competition, and Gurushots will allow you to compete in epic challenges and daily battles against millions of photographers worldwide. You can even become part of a team and take on other groups while sharing skills and connecting with other photographers.

The idea of the game is to gradually increase your ranking from a Newbie to a Master, and then finally achieve the ultimate status of becoming a Guru. There are opportunities for your work to be exhibited in a physical gallery, published in magazines, and of course - be featured here on Digital Camera World too.

With the latest Tell a Story Challenge, we wanted you to take us somewhere new by capturing a raw moment that really resonates with the viewer. There are countless moments happening around us, and photographers have the power to share stories in a truly unique way that nobody else can.

It's fascinating to see how other photographers might interpret a photo theme differently from you. The idea of the timed challenges is to enter images that not only fit the brief but are also unique and might give you enough of an edge to earn a Guru Pick from the creator of the challenge and votes from other players.

Winners can be in with the chance to receive prizes from GuruShots' sponsors, such as Adorama, Kodak, Lowepro, and Lensbaby. The highest-ranked images from this challenge will be published in The Ultimate Guide to Photography Post-Production Magazine, and we're pleased to showcase these images below, along with the rest of the top-featured photographs in the gallery that follows.
