10 PHOTOS

#1 "Tornado Of Taste" By Halyna Vitiuk

Silver in Advertising/Food

For my family, fried potatoes are a regular dish. I cook often because the children love it. And I always wonder why and why children love these potatoes. and think about what a magical taste can be here.

However, when you start to look at things through the eyes of a child, everything around becomes special and magical.
So I tried to look through the eyes of children and fantasize about the hurricane of taste of french fries.

#2 "William Hill" By Peter Muller

Gold in Advertising/Other, 1st Place winner in Advertising

I was commissioned in the summer of 2022 to produce a large series of images for William Hill, the betting company. They were all based around football, as they were to coincide with the new premier league season start. it was a month of solid production to get everything and everyone in place, and make sure all the boxes were ticked, as there was a lot to consider, but the shoot went so well, so smoothly. They love the results and so do I. There are still another 15 stills to be approved and retouched, plus 10 super slow-motion clips, so I can't wait to see those.

I have been shooting for over 20 years. I work mainly in the lifestyle advertising genre, I shoot a lot for various stock agencies as well. My work is normally a fairly natural depiction of everyday activities, but I like to think, on a good day, to make my shots create an aspirational feel and offer the viewer a bit of escapism, or desire to be in the scene. i am a fairly easy-happy kind of guy and I want my shots and images to depict how I want to live my life. I also shot footage, as it was a natural progression from the very narrative-based stills shoots.

#5 "Saturated" By Felix Renaud

Gold in Advertising/Self-Promotion

Mental saturation, or cognitive overload, sets in when the brain has to deal with more information than it can process. A feeling of anguish and suffocation is then felt.

Like colors, mental space has a maximum level of saturation. Exceeding this limit can be very damaging.

This project aims to highlight this growing phenomenon in society.

It's like baking pancakes for the whole family, baking cakes or gingerbreads like preparing breakfasts with waffles, or even the simplest cookies or cereal with milk. Therefore, life seems even more beautiful.
