"Minimalism" 2022 THEME WINNERS
Minimalism or the absence of distractions from shadows, light and often a single subject, line or emotion is also the core of every photograph we take where instead of being subtle and undefined it becomes the dramatic force of the image.
Escape Route BY Marc Apers
Our First Place Winner was submitted by
Marc Apers from Kontich, Belgium
Marc Apers from Kontich, Belgium
Freelance photographer, always looking for typical subjects with an emphasis on shapes and structures, light and dark, sun and shade. My images emerge from deep human contacts and a continuous intensive look at the dynamic environment. I decide which environment I choose, how I experience it and which emotion will be reflected in the image in question. Inevitably I manipulate the complexity of the environment/emotion to a greater or lesser extent by among other things, sketching a strong geometric framework and maintaining a well-considered symmetry. Combining emotion and story in one image is my ultimate goal.

Our Honorable Mention Winner was submitted by
Martin Kucera from Komarno, Slovakia
Photography has been a part of my life since I was a child, as my father was a fan of photography, we also had a darkroom at home. So at first I unconsciously perceived all the things around photography and later I started to try it all in practice. Photography is my passion and part of my life, even though I don’t do it professionally or commercially. I am constantly trying to improve and understand the world of photography even better. I don’t avoid any genre but my favorite genre is landscape photography. Landscape photography and nature is what I photograph the most and I like it most.
I have been awarded the artistic title of “Artist FIAP” (AFIAP) by THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ART and more than 60 different awards.
