Silh BY Fabio Giachetti
Our First Place Winner was submitted by
Fabio Giachetti from Cascina, Italy
Fabio Giachetti from Cascina, Italy
My name is Fabio Giachetti, I was born in 1970 and live in Pisa, Italy. I began photographing in an era when film came in 36 exposure roles. It made me think about every shot before committing to photographing on film. Even now in the digital era, I still photograph in this way -- slow and deliberate. My main passions are Street Photography, Landscape, Seascape and Architecture Photography. My architectural images try to highlight the shapes, light, and shadows that form against structures. I see them as figures that stand against a dark sky and show their beauty through their geometry. For my landscape and architecture photography, I often shoot long exposures to make them more dreamlike, silky, and to give more emphasis to static elements than dynamic ones like sky, clouds, and water.

Stanley's memoirs By Josip Miskovic
Our Third Place Winner was submitted by
Josip Miskovic from Arezzo, Italy
Josip Miskovic from Arezzo, Italy
I was born in 1982 in Bosnia and in 2014 I moved to Italy - to Tuscany, specifically - where I still live.
I am self-taught freelance photographer, through research and experimentation in various fields of photography I am looking for something interesting in simple and everyday scenes. Each photo is an attempt to dissociate my expressive language and my vision from current mainstream trends. That's the main reason why I’m interested in all forms of expression, I’m interested as long as they somehow examine the connection between conflict and harmony.
In February 2020 I launched "Galleria Ambigua" in the historic city of Arezzo (Tuscany). It is a contemporary art gallery and a cultural space, of which I am co-director and founder.
