Erasmusburg BY Oscar Lopez
Our Second Place Winner was submitted by
Oscar Lopez from Hamburg Germany
I was born in 1977 in Mexico.
I am married and lucky father of two girls.
After spending most of my young life in Mexico, I went to Germany when I was 22 to pursue my studies in mechanical engineering. Now I work as an engineer in the aerospace industry in Hamburg.
I have always been curious about art. My interests in the concepts of the aesthetics in nature as well as in urban landscapes, led me to start doing photography to capture its beauty not only for the sake of it, but to convey emotions.
As I have grown older, I have found the need of expressing myself through photography, showing the things that I not only see but feel and share them with the world.

Casa da Música Antonio Coelho
Our Honorable Mention Winner was also submitted by
Antonio Coelho from Recarei, Portugal
I am an electrical engineer, and I have an enormous taste for photography, something I have already been able to instill in my 6 year old daughter.
The fact of being an engineer allowed at the beginning of my development of photography, start with theory, such as physics, optics and chemistry. I developed a huge taste for conceptual, abstract and macro photography. I started a new study of street photography, in an abstract way and with a different view of what one normally sees in street photography, using 10mm objective or voluntary movements of the machine, creating effects of "motion blur".
In the last years I have won some prizes, publications in the site 1X, as well as in the best book of 1X. I participated in several national and international competitions with 1st, 2nd place and honorable mentions: "Solitude" - Portugal Winner, National Awards, Sony World Photography Awards 2018 "MC Hescher" - Commended, Enhanced, Sony World Photography Awards 2018 "the city" - 3rd place monoawards 2017, conceptual "the city" - 2place 35awards 2016, conceptual "the city" - honorable mention, PX3 2017 "the city" - honorable mention, monovisions 2016, conceptual "the city" - honorable mention, International Photographer of The year 2016, fine art: conceptual "the city" (series bnw and color)- Honorable Mention - Fine Art - Conceptual, ND Awards 2017 "the city of colors" - published on 1X book, "X book" 2017 "the city" - contest winner on viewbug.com, Monochrome Objects Photo Contest "4 elements" - 1st place XPOSURE INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL, Sharjah - UAE, still life theme
