(NADS) - When it comes to Windows wallpapers, nothing is more legendary than Bliss, the default wallpaper for Microsoft Windows XP shot by photographer Charles O'Rear, the most viewed photo of all time. To follow in O'Rear's footsteps, seven photographers from different countries around the world have attempted to follow in O'Rear's footsteps by capturing the next iconic photos for Microsoft Surface devices.
"Bliss" is considered the iconic Windows wallpaper and is seen every day on computer devices around the world. The rolling green hills and blue sky of "Bliss" in Windows XP, captured by photographer Charles O'Rear, has become so iconic that Microsoft has even printed it on clothing and games.
After "Bliss," Windows 10's wallpaper was tagged with a mysterious image that looked like a computer-generated image but was actually a photo of a real window with lasers, mirrors, and a smoke machine.
Windows 11 marks a change, with Microsoft opting not for photography but for a digital work of art: “Bloom” created by Barcelona-based Six N Five. But the tech giant decided to go after the photo to make the next generation of iconic Windows wallpapers. And it invited seven photographers from different countries to compete to create it and document the process.
"Windows wallpapers are an internet legend - 'Bliss' is a legacy we want to preserve, while also empowering the next generation of creators to showcase the beauty of their homeland that not everyone gets to see firsthand," explains Whitney Wolf, Chief Strategy Officer at Superdigital, the creative agency that organized the project.
American photographer Caleb Wielhouwer visited arguably the country's most beautiful state: Alaska.
Photographer Frauke Hamesiter from Germany traveled to a remote area and started hiking in search of a great photo.
Film photographer Kate Hook from the UK traveled to Glencoe, Scotland to capture some shots of the Scottish Highlands landscape.
Canadian photographer Justin Choquette drove more than 7,000km north and lived in his van to capture the perfect backdrop.
Meanwhile, Australia's Zac Watson took a helicopter ride into the Outback to capture this photo of a stunning landscape known as Horizontal Falls.
Photographer Loic Lagarde used his drone to capture "iconic" castles in France.
And finally, in Japan, photographer Kohki Yamaguchi headed to Mount Fuji to take on his challenge.
With "positive community feedback", each image that has been officially made available on Windows can be found here.
