10 PHOTOS
#1 3rd Place In Analog/Film/Landscape: "Sunkissed Hills" By Bernarda Nibera Conič
"Sunkissed Hills unveils a captivating analog film photograph by renowned European photographer Nibera, capturing the majestic beauty of the Slovenian Julian Alps. Bathed in the golden hues of a setting sun, a vibrant mountain range evokes a timeless and nostalgic sentiment. The image exudes serenity, harmony, and stillness, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil scene. Through expertly composed visuals, Nibera's artistry showcases the enduring power of analog photography, preserving fleeting moments while evoking profound emotions."
#2 Honorable Mention: "El Mar Y El Infinito" By David Flores
"The sea is a symbol of freedom and natural force, of calm and storm. From the shore, the sea is infinite, like thought and its mental drift. At a time when we are increasingly disconnected from wildlife, these photographs share the experience of feeling and loving the territory through contemplation, creating images that connect with the feeling of infinity and permanence. This series arises from the need to disseminate and promote values of respect, conservation, and sustainability of our seas and oceans through deep, contemplative, and emotional reflection of the territory."
#3 Honorable Mention: "Solitude" By Cristiano Xavier
"A lone tree at night, surrounded by the spinning stars."
#4 Honorable Mention: "Lucky Bird" By Lui Araki
"My best friend passed away in 2012. He was also a photographer. His mom asked me to take something usable from his room. I got some films from his room. After that. I went to Hong Kong. I put his film on my camera. This is a photo I took with my first roll. Hong Kong friend told me this is a scarce lucky bird. I got his power I think."
#5 3rd Place In Analog/Film/Other: "Slide" By Chalet Chan
"A colorful children's slide in the mist."
#6 3rd Place In Analog/Film/Other: "Der Dunkle Strom (Dark River)" By Michael Anker
"I came back to the landscape of my childhood three years ago. Also to look for traces in the topography of my family. After the end of the Second World War, my father's and my mother's paths crossed in this landscape along the Oder River. Between the fields, the river makes its way through the plain. He carries my family history with him. Calm and dark, it flows full of memories of itself and the people on its shores. Dark shoals remain hidden. I photographed this series exclusively analog in 6x6 format. To photograph this story digitally would be an anachronism."
#7 Honorable Mention: "Theory Of Relativity" By Lukasz Spychala
"Models: Weronika Waclawik & Kasia Markiewicz."
#8 3rd Place In Analog/Film/Portrait: "Bond" By Franklin Yeep
"I want to highlight the genuine beauty of relationships and connection through my portraiture."
#9 2nd Place In Analog/Film/Portrait: "Sunset At The Supermarket" By Ousman Diallo
"Representations of the neighborhoods I was raised in have always been a constant source of tension for me. There are too few opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds to tell their own stories, so stereotypes, some based on truth, but many egregiously exaggerated can persist and increase. With this project, *Sunset At the Supermarket*, I aimed to re-examine narratives buried deep within the American culture. Sunset at the Supermarket is a collection of portraits intimately depicting the diverse youths of New York City."
#10 Honorable Mention: "Butterfly Angel (Blue)" By Fabian Kochendoerfer
"The butterfly is a deep and powerful representation of life. In many cultures, butterflies are symbolic and a metaphor representing spiritual transformation. Symbolic for rebirth, change, hope, and balance in life. The transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly mirrors the process of spiritual transformation. The short life of the butterfly serves to remind us life is short. I took this photograph with a vintage Polaroid SX-70 camera from the 70ties. I used a limited edition film with blue and black tones only. I spend many weeks taking very many pictures to get this perfect shot."
