 Waiting​ BY Alex Cao

Picture
 Our Second Place Winner was submitted by 
Alex Cao from Quang, Ngai, Vietnam


I have officially come to photography for 2 years now, can I come to photography by fate or debt, I still don't know. But never mind, Fate or Debt is also involved in it.

There are 2 wishes that I always want to achieve.  One is to gather all the beautiful images of my hometown, Quang Ngai and promote it to the community not only at home and abroad. The second is to preserve those beauties for the next generation.

I´ll catch you Gerhard Wagner

Picture
Our Third Place Winner was submitted by 
Gerhard​​ ​Wagner​ from St. Pölten,  Austria
Hi I am Gerhard Wagner, born 1966 in St. Pölten, near Vienna Austria. My profession is quality management in a big company. In my private life I’m a photographer, musician and father of two adult children.  The reason why I take a picture, is to catch and perpetuate short moments in life.   I love Street photography and have been photographing on the street with passion since 2016. In my opinion honest authentic photography doesn’t have anything to do with image processing application or image montage.  I shoot only candid and unposed scenes.

The artist and his fans​ Herve Boutrouille 

Picture
Our Honorable Mention Winner was submitted by 
Herve Boutrouille ​​​​​​ from  Saint-Grégoire, France


I am a French amateur photographer, I love nature but I find more inspiration in the city.  My goal is to tell the story of people's lives in an urban environment as graphic and minimalist as possible, by relying on architecture.​
