"REFLECTIONS" 2018 Theme Winners

​From endless materials and objects around us, glass water, rivers or drifting tides reflections have long been a wonderful part of many magnificent images in photography. What really seems to set them apart always seems to be a step away from the traditional rules as though them seem to take on a personal introspective perspective while being framed up.

The lights went out BY ​Álvaro ​Tejero

Picture
Our First Place Winner was submitted by 
Álvaro Tejero​​ from Andalucía, Spain 
Located in Córdoba, I have been working in the media for more than 12 years in my city.   Four years ago a DSLR camera fell into my hands, and I went from the jpeg to the raw edition of the photographs.  A constant training has allowed me to take my photographs one step further.   For work and economic reasons I can not travel as much as I would like, but I always keep a couple of weeks by year for a trip that allows me to see new landscapes and show the world that I see through lenses.
