WINNERS GALLERY Mar 2021

"Reflections​" 2021 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.

Mirror​ BY Patrizia ​Burra

Our First Place Winner was submitted by 
Patrizia Burra​​​​​​​ from Gorizia, Italy
​
I am a painter and photographer. Painting gives a lot of energy, but it doesn't allows you to catch the moment. This is one of the main factor that lead me to the conclusion that I could not be a painter only.  My goal, as photographer, is to translate my more wild, passionate and restless vision into an image. "With photography we try to reproduce the world.  But the world is much more interesting when it becomes a work of art".
​
I think that photography and the images we create, are the realities transformed into dreams. Our life needs imagination, emotions, an inner impulse that leads us to create. I work every day and many hours a day. This is my way of venting, a road that may be open to everything. And it is in that way that I feel free to create. Here wonderful things can happen. Here, in this fantasy world, my creatures come to life by participating in my dreams.

Night Palace​ BY Juan ​López Ruiz

 Our Second Place Winner was submitted by 
Juan López Ruiz​​​ from Madrid, Spain


My passion for photography has been with me since I was a child and I have always found it very interesting to be able to portray and immortalize the unique moments that nature offers us.

In 2017 I could finally buy my first digital reflex camera and since then I have not stopped learning and perfecting myself in this beautiful art being able to combine my passion for photography and nature, until now I have not stopped documenting myself in an autodidactic way learning to understand light and perfecting my technique in the use of the camera as well as in the subsequent digital edition of my images which for me is something fundamental.​
