Tre Cime BY Tomasz Rojek
Our First Place Winner was submitted by
Tomasz Rojek from Rudy, Poland
Tomasz Rojek from Rudy, Poland
I was born in the mid-seventies and I am from Poland. My adventure with photography begins with a passion for travel. Many years ago, while still in college, I began to see the beauty of the world around us, its various corners, those close and those in distant countries. This led me to visit many places both in Poland and beyond its borders. An indispensable companion of every traveler is a camera. This was so in my case, but initially my photography was directed on documenting what I had the opportunity to see. Over time, I wanted something more than another photo from a trip, something more than another photo of one place or another. For several years I have been trying to create frames consciously, use the aura, the times of the day and the year to show my vision of the places I visit.
Today I carefully plan every trip for my photography. Both the places I visit and travel time are subjected to it. My idea for photography is to follow the light, seek and use it in the best possible way.

Walking among giants by Julio Setiadi
Our Honorable Mention Winner was submitted by
Julio Castro Pardo from La Coruña, Spain
I was born in La Coruña, studied pharmacy and it was not until the beginning of the year 2015 that I assaulted my curiosity about photography.
Like most I started taking photos to everything, with techniques like HDR that made the photos look a lot with little work. However, after attending a couple of courses such as the Night Photography and Lightpainting of the Lightbrothers and Alchemist Light I began to become increasingly interested in this type of photography that was so spectacular.
In addition, I was always a big fan of nature and landscapes, and in combination with the long exposure photography that I also used for night, I found the type of photography I wanted to do: Landscape Photography and nightlife.
