By definition, photographs are simply images made using a camera - but in practice, they're windows into how we see and experience the world. Other people's unique perspectives give us a better understanding of and appreciation for places we might never go, and communities we might never be a part of. From the way individual photographers angle a photo, to the subjects they choose to photograph in the first place, we can learn so much from others' frame of mind.
Today, we're proud to introduce 2022's #AdobeRisingStars of photography, who are more than ready to meet the challenge. Exploring themes ranging from cultural expression to racial identity and natural phenomena, these photographers are playing a pivotal role in documenting this moment in our history from their own unique point of view. Their images reflect the hope, the taciturn, and the in-between of the better world that many are working to build.
We're thrilled to give our Rising Stars a warm welcome to the Adobe community. Scroll down to learn more about their backgrounds and keep a close eye on the Lightroom Instagram over the next few months for more of their work.
Nadine Bauer - Madeira, Portugal Nadine Bauer is a biologist from Germany and is currently based in Portugal. In March 2021, she graduated with a Master's degree in Biology and decided to leave Germany to follow her dreams. During her studies and travels over the years, she became enthralled with the ocean and marine life, realizing the ocean is where she belongs. After she left Germany, she started her professional diving career in Mexico, where she also took an internship as a Scientific Dive Master, during which time she was able to raise awareness about how important marine life is for our planet. After five months in Mexico, she traveled across the US for three months before she based herself in Madeira, where she currently works as a photographer and scuba diving instructor.

But she isn't just in love with biology, she also loves art, which plays a big role in her life. As a creative mind both in front of and behind the camera, she's found that she can explore the ocean through photography, too. You can find her on Instagram at @cinnadine.

Tommy Bui - Saigon, Vietnam Tommy Bui is a graphic design student in university and a freelance photographer based in Saigon, Vietnam. As someone who's amazed by art of all kinds, he loves watching movies, listening to music, and playing piano. But photography holds a special place in his heart.

In the last few years, he found himself stunned by the way light interacts with its surroundings. He loves that, through photography, a person can tell a completely different story within the same scene, depending on the lighting and angle.
Tommy Bui
Bui started photography two years ago using only his iPhone 8 Plus. Ever since, he's loved exploring how everything we see daily can be made more interesting through photographing it. He's particularly fascinated by how just a singular moment captured as an image can deliver such a strong feeling, and he aims to emphasize a nostalgic vibe in all of his work. You can find him on Instagram at @tommybui.tb.
Julie Chandelier - Christchurch, New Zealand Julie Chandelier is a passionate conservation and wildlife photographer based in New Zealand. She advocates for the ocean and the wider natural world by telling stories about the connection we have with the amazing natural world we live in.

She's spent the last few years raising awareness through her images, and her passion has led her to contribute to meaningful projects and to work with individuals and organizations that strive to improve our environment and the well-being of communities.
Chandelier has also been on multi-day expeditions, from documenting the whale research in the Subantarctic Islands to working as a guide in the polar regions or exploring the most remote parts of New Zealand. Her storytelling is at its best when she's out in the elements.
Julie Chandelier
She is an avid ocean lover and aside from surfing and free diving, she spends countless hours sea-kayaking with her partner. She has always been fascinated by marine mammals and has been blessed with many encounters while on the water. She always dreamed of becoming a marine biologist, and now spends as much time as she can capturing marine life. You can find her on Instagram at @julie_chandelier.
