Juan Lopez Ruiz from Madrid, Spain
Amateur photographer born in Madrid, Spain. My passion for photography has been with me since I was a child and I have always found it very interesting to be able to portray and immortalize the unique moments that nature offers us.
In 2017 I could finally buy my first digital reflex camera and since then I have not stopped learning and perfecting myself in this beautiful art being able to combine my passion for photography and nature, until now I have not stopped documenting myself in an autodidactic way learning to understand light and perfecting my technique in the use of the camera as well as in the subsequent digital edition of my images which for me is something fundamental.
My specialty is landscape photography but I have also developed a special interest in architectural and wildlife photography.

Echo BY Muhammad Almasri
Our Second Place Winner was submitted by
Muhammad Almasri from Amman, Jordan
My name is Muhammad Almasri, Chess Player and Award-Winning Photographer born and raised in Zarqa, Jordan.
I always feel that time behind my camera lens is short, regardless of how much time I spend trying to capture the photos. Every time something draws my attention, I try to frame it in my vision, and then through my camera. I am interested in architecture and abstract photography, and sometimes in landscape since I started as a landscaper. I believe that we can mostly make art out of everything around us, only if we looked at it more than once and from different perspectives.

Golden Spiral by Rafael García Luna

Rafael García Luna from Cordoba, Spain
Rafael García Luna from Cordoba, Spain
It was back in 2006 when my first SLR camera came into my hands. It was then that my passion for photography began. Mostly self-taught, I took several training courses, which have helped me to acquire knowledge and a workflow, which I am trying to improve every day.
Currently I combine my profession with this passion, which has become a way of life. It is the reason why I take my camera wherever I go, to try to capture those seconds and share my vision of the world through my photographs, some of them have been awarded in various national competitions.
