Inge Vautrin from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
I was born and raised in Denmark. I now reside in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I have always found joy in photography and love capturing a situation or mood in a picture; that one moment that would otherwise go unnoticed. I enjoy the entire process, from finding the subject, to processing the picture, to sharing the results.
I have been honored to receive several awards at the local and international levels.

The Line by GORAN JOVIC
Our Third Place Winner was also submitted by
Goran Jovic from Gornji Vinjani, Croatia
Like any other photographer who pursues art, I try to bring something personal to every photo I take.
I am still learning a lot about photography every day, but as much as I discover through this discipline, I still recognize that photography is an open space, in which there are constantly new opportunities to explore it deeper.
After spending a few years capturing regional subjects and scenery, I thought I could really challenge myself in the field, and so I joined a mission to Tanzania with an aid association.
In retrospect, I look at that decision as a kind of instinctual compass which reinforced my desire to do this type of photography.
I also find myself surrendering more and more to Africa, although I don’t think it is a conscious decision on my part. Instead, there is an unparalleled and reassuring spirit emanating from that continent that it overwhelms with genuine and raw energy. And so, I was lured by it from the beginning, and that is where I feel I belong.
