#Shutterpunk2077 — Photo Mode Contest Winners

+
Well It is relevant if you think the Dev's are stopping work on updates and fixes to judge photos. As that would be a job for the Cyberpunk community team. Like PR.
The disconnect still remains.
But you cant know who chose this pics. your guessing.
Pr should talk with us more and explain things not waste time with irrelevant things if they are the one who choose.
I and my brother need some explaining after being a big fans of their games and we bought them all.
We all guess here what was happening about the time of release, the state of game, how they chose to do things and no one comes and clear things up. Why?

When Cyberpunk 2077 released, back in December 2020, we announced #Shutterpunk2077 — our official Photo Mode Contest, and asked you to share your best shots from the game. Turns out Night City is full of talented photographers! We were blown away by the quality of your submissions and impressed how you were able to tell a whole story in only one frame.

After hours of consideration, we finally chose 9 winners and 3 honorable mentions from thousands of submissions. Here they are!
Category: Portrait
1st place — @rafbrzoz



This screenshot has everything: V, his trusty bike and busy streets of Night City in the background. We couldn't name a better combo if we tried! It captured not only the main character of the game but also an intimate friendship between a man and his ride.

2nd place — @MJellllo



It’s one of these screenshots that makes you stop scrolling and take a second to admire it. It’s simple and elegant, with exactly the right pose and background for the character. In addition, we appreciate the author’s creativity in choosing this original place. Going black & white was a smart decision!



3rd place — Maxim S.



This picture caught our eye straight away - it pretty much screams “Cyberpunk” at you. Swagger, chrome, kitsch, neon, it has it all. A Mox-style setup, great light play, and a nice touch of smoke. Too easy to mistake for a quality cosplay photoshoot! We saw it, we loved it, we couldn’t let it go.

Honorable Mention — @synthcode_



Viktor, as a ripperdoc, represents the advanced technology of the year 2077, while the black & white photos are usually associated with things of the past. In this screenshot, old meets new. In addition, the angle of the shot reminds us of a close friendship between him and V.

1st place — @3brtm055



At first sight, this screenshot looks pretty static, but when you take a longer look it seeps danger. You can almost hear epic battle music and you instantly know that you’re in deep… trouble. Adam Smasher is coming for you.

2nd place — @Michael1210GJ



This is exactly what we were expecting from an action shot — dynamic poses captured in a moment with lively and colorful background. But there’s also an additional layer to this one… We know they’re enemies, but in the picture we can see them fighting back to back, trusting each other, as though they were friends.

3rd place — @SkreappaHD



Rage, blood and gore — no war is ever pretty and more often than not V has to get their hands dirty. Night City is a violent place, after all, and Puppy-loving Pacifists don’t last very long there. We loved this expressive close-up shot for capturing the brutal, uncensored essence of a fight, the way the character is reaching through the curtain of blood in a gesture of defiance, face twisted with anger.

Honorable Mention — @sTyL3Tz



This shot encompasses Judy’s personal conflict and her drive exceptionally well. Each day in Night City is a gruesome fight for survival, and many lose their humanity along the way. Not Judy. Although she may be reckless in her fury, her heart’s in the right place. And if she has to blow shit up to change the world, you bet she will.

1st place — @LORD_CLONG



Night City is "a city of dreams". It'll promise fame and glory, tons of eddies to spend like there's no tomorrow. The city gives and takes. One day you are rich and famous, like the city in the background. The other day you are simply abandoned and forgotten, just like the car on the riverbank. We chose this one as it grasped the essence of Night City perfectly.

2nd place — @takezshin



Cyberpunk is usually associated with neons and colors, so we enjoy this different take on the genre. The photorealism of this screenshot makes it look like it could’ve been a photo of one of our contemporary cities. The contrast between the buildings and the imperfect symmetry of the shot truly caught our eye.

3rd place — @masaoandm



When you hear Cyberpunk and Night City, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? A colorful, busy and loud city with a bunch of neons. The reason we picked this screenshot is mainly because it shows the other side, another face of Night City — calm and quiet, a place where you can go to reflect on things. And colors used in that screenshot sync really well!

Honorable Mention — @DrBaobab64



This moody shot pays tribute to the legendary movie and screams “cyberpunk genre” to us. On top of that, it shows what kind of weather and scenery you can encounter in the game.

Congratulations to all the participants and winners — we hope you’ll keep showcasing your skilful use of our in-game photo mode and taking our breaths away!
Congrats to all the winners!!

Really like @rafbrzoz shot setup for the 1st place portrait and the how real @takezshin 2nd place scenery shot looks.

Also thought it was cool with how the winners were put into a compiled shot at the top, so made similar style from my own submissions lol. Hope CDPR continues with similar contests in the future!!

That's all you could find? There are some nice screenshots here, ok, but most of them are very weak. Especially that one with Adam Smasher. Its just objectively bad, not even mediocre. I mean, cmon, other people on the internet did much better job.
Pity... Like everything else with this game.

You accuse someone of guessing when it was your post that guessed that the developers spent the time to choose the pics, which is highly unlikely as things like this would typically be done by marketing/PR. If you think CDPR is going to not do anything until they give you answers you want to hear, then you're in for a long haul. They said their piece. You don't have to like it. Hell, I didn't.

I did not MENTION developers. Its not true.
 
Well using black and white color ITS A PERFECT CHOICE but you said that this count like a edition and edition was forbidden at the contest. ¡'? Damn wtf
They never said you couldn't use filters. Only that you couldn't use backgrounds or stickers.
 
The portrait ones are really mediocre... Ive seen lots better in this forum... congrats on the other ones!
Those aren't even prtraits, except for the one who won 3rd place. Did everyone at CDPR actually forgot the definition of Portrait or anything goes? I think the latter applies. Shame, Shame, shame....

Did you ever bothered to read the rules of this contest ? I think the answer is NO, based on your answer

Wat? The rules stated that you weren't allowed to edit the photos outside the game - not that you couldn't use the in-game filters.

Also, people need to accept that these sorts of contests will always be very subjective. I would probably have picked nine completely different shots, for other reasons, but that's not the point. I really appreciate the short explanations of their thoughts behind each choice - you can disagree all you want, but you have to respect their decisions.

Congrats to all the winners!

I swear, and I could be mistaken, that when this contest first appeared it said "no mods/reshades etc". It's one of the reasons I didn't enter. Did anyone else see that?
