PASSING THE TIME BY ​INGE VAUTRIN 

Picture
Our First Place Winner was submitted by 
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 

Picture
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.
