Grand Award Winner
Daniel Fojt
I was born in 1980 in Budapest,
Hungary. My interested in photography
started 1999 during my school
years and my first chance to take
photographs. I decided to move and to
build a career in another country and
the UK became my new home in 2009.
Now that I had won this amazing
competition one of my dreams has
comes true. Winning the first prize
seems as if a door has been opened
to a whole new world for me. Also by
winning this sensational prize I am now
able to fulfil my second dream which is
to visit New York. Something I thought
would never happen for years.
I have had great success with my
Manchester and London series in the
UK and now able to go the USA. I can
start on my New York series and I am
hoping to create a series in Paris after
that.
I entered the competition because I
wanted know what chances is I would
have in an international field. Obviously
I was hoping to win but never thought
it would happen. I am just so thrilled
with the first prize.

Jaime Travezan
While studying architecture in my
hometown, Lima, I got a job as a
journalist in a local newspaper. Many
of the articles had to be documented
with photographs, this made me take
a camera and start to do my first
pictures.
Once settled in Europe, I started to
work as a photographer. Always
following my curiosity, I explored many
sides of this profession: fashion and
portraiture, commissioned by glossy
magazines (Elle, Vogue, Tatler, ID, etc)
and photojournalism, publishing in
different newspapers (The Times, El
Pais, L’Événement du jeudi, La Tercera,
etc), covering subjects such as the
Kosovo War winner at The Guardian
Photography Prize, among others.
In 2013, after two years work, I’ve
finalised Proyecto Mírame, Lima, a
series of 50 family portraits aiming to
reflect the cultural, ethnical, religious
diversities present within the peruvian
capital. It has won the 2013 SEE ME
Awards for Photography, and the 2013
PDN Awards. Two of the images have
been selected for exhibition at the
National Portrait Gallery of London as
part of the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize
2012 and 2013.
Besides that I’m always interested in
new challenges and that’s the reason
why I have been taking photographs
of architecture and then doing collages
with most of the pictures.

Darren Moore
I am 36 year old a self taught
photographer living and working in
Surrey, England. I have had a passion
for photography for many years now
and in the last few years have taken
steps towards it becoming a full time
profession.
I have been fortunate enough to have
exhibited my work in the USA, Canada,
France and here in the UK - Picking up
a number of international awards along
the way.
Primarily working in Black & White
I specialise in a technique called
‘Daytime Long Exposure’ using Neutral
Density (ND) filters attached to the
lens. ND filters cut out the amount of
light coming into the lens allowing the
shutter to be left open for much longer
than normal, capturing movement
with an ethereal aesthetic. My images
range from 30 second exposures to 15+
minutes.
The sea and the surrounding coastline
of the UK is my greatest source of
inspiration. Having grown up in a
coastal town, the sea has always held
a sense of mystery and wonder for me,
with its seemingly endless horizons,
something which I like to try and
incorporate into my images today. So
it’s no surprise that it features heavily
in my work – unfortunately I don’t live
near the coast at the moment, but use
any and every opportunity to return
and photography allows me to do just
that.
My hope with my photography is
to allow the viewer an escape from
reality. There’s too much reality these
days, for me at least! Nothing wrong
with a little escapism. If my images can
evoke that feeling in another person,
even for a fleeting moment. I’m very
happy indeed.

Le Hong Linh
Living in Ho Chi Minh city - Vietnam, Linh started
his passion for the art of photography in 1990. He’s
currently the Chairman of the Art Council of The
Vietnam Association Photographic Artists and has
judged many international photographic competitions.
His main interests in photography are portrait, children
and daily life…
Linh has won more than 500 photography awards
in 40 countries. 21 of his Photographic works are
exhibited permanently in the International Photography
Museums and among of them has four outstanding
works that selected as the masterpieces of the world
photography.
In the feature, Linh would like to introduce his 10
images that he took of the children in the Vietnamese
Countryside. He felt such joy and happiness recalling
the images of himself in the past. That the children had
so much love and compassion to give, despite lacking
so much in the material aspects of life, is indeed a
miracle.

Jukka Laitila
I am originally from Finland, but for
about a year now, Ihave lived on the
beautiful and rugged North Sea coast
in St Andrews. Experiencing space and
time directly alters the entire process
that goes into photography, and
indeed,Scotland has had a vital influence
in discovering and experimenting with
my own technique, workflow and style.
My favourite part of the photography
process is to be out in the field and to
scout new, interesting locations and to
wait for the right lighting and weather
conditions; the often physically laborious
process of experiencing the elements
can be immensely rewarding. An image
that might take a few seconds to look at
often has taken an entire day’s work to
create.
photographs – be it water, clouds or
people.
While technical knowledge
is,unquestionably, important up to a
point, I don’t examine photographs
from a solely technical point of view.
For me, visually exploring the texture
and ambience of what I see and feel in
the environment are the most important
aspects of photography and, essentially,
photography for me is a dialogue
between the visual, the corporeal and
the nature.

Many of my photographs are long
exposure shots,and the sea is a
particularly suitable element for the
technique. I am not so much interested
in portraying the landscape in realistic
terms, but I’d rather add some surreal
elements to it, something a naked eye
cannot see. I am fascinated by capturing
seconds, often minutes, which is why
I like to include moving subjects in my

Scott Pierson
Art is the perception or vision, through
one’s soul, of their universe put
forth for others to sense (touch, feel,
emote, taste, embrace). If you think
about what a person is. The physical
manifestation of small pieces of the
universe gathered together in a random
order. We are that and the combination
of our experience (Memory). We
are always evolving who we are as
individuals based on those factors.
The really wild mix in this is that we
like things based upon that which we
can’t explain. So I am this little thing
in the universe – I have my own way
of doing things and looking at things
and way that I like to be. I have my
own perception of my little universe
and who I am. Much of what I shot is
similar to many other people, and a
good bit of it that only a few people
can identify with. I strive to connect
with people …. Try and let them see
what I see. Walk in my shoes. That way
I don’t feel so alone and desolate. I feel
like I am part of the universe.
I strive to get pictures that have feeling
and emotional content, introspection
to allow their persona to be shown in
an outward expression. A glimpse of
whom that person is in the moment of
the click of the shutter and show the
beauty that is in each of us.

Olga Rook
Olga Rook is a photographer based in Rotterdam,
the Netherlands. Her artistic approach can be
characterized as poetic conceptualism, grounded
in ideas but flavored with poetry.
Olga obtained her master’s and PhD degrees in
History and specialized in Renaissance culture.
She believes that training as a historian and a
habit of being able to “live in different times at
once” helps her expand the borders of everyday
perception.
Olga’s fine art imagery is about the “magical” side
of everyday life – the symbols, meanings and
hidden “dimensions” discovered and constructed
through our observation and imagination. Potential
meanings and messages are behind everything
we see, and whole parallel universes are to be
evoked by imagination. Olga’s photography is an
attempt to explore ideas and emotions through an
interpretation of visible reality.
Olga has always been intrigued by perception,
imagination and illusion. It is fascinating how
our mind interprets our senses, continuously
constructs alternative realities and attaches
varying meanings to these simulacra. In her work
Olga seeks to explore these virtual universes,
space twists and time warps – essentially, a travel
through the subconscious and, thus, a way to
confront oneself.

Bruna Martini
My work is all about analogue double
exposures and manipulation of images.
The editing process is, for me, the
most important part of creating a
photograph.
I have an idea in mind (usually an
emotional state). That’s my starting
point. Then I choose a model for my
scene. After that, it’s all about editing.
I look through my collection and mix
negatives of details with my subjects.
I cut the image, reassemble its parts
and photograph it again. I don’t really
want to tell a story with a beginning,
development and end, but I want to
communicate a moment, a feeling.
Creating double exposures in
the darkroom is a very technical
experience, all based on calculating
the exact amount of seconds you
need to leave your photos floating in
the liquids. With analogue doubleexposures
you make the time, not only
the abstract time that will show on the
image, but also the real ‘clock’ time.
There isn’t any other tool that gives you
so much control on the image-making
process.

Elad Koren
I am a self taught photographer who began my photography
work on the fauna, strength, and great fragility of Africa. I chose
to use natural colours of the land to help me portray the animals
in almost humanizing way, I plays on shadow, light and
contrast, to immortalize rare scenes of nature, constantly trying
to capture the magnificence of the animals behaviour and the
emotion of their look. I want to show the vividness of the animals
that are more endangered than ever.
I realizes that through photos I can create a strong public
awareness about the importance of preserving and protecting
our wildlife.
I’m based in Israel, but spend most of my time in Africa. Most
of my photos emphasize attitudes and animals with almost
human looks. I do so by using frontal and close up shots to
highlight the animals character traits, as well as the intensity
of their gazes and the majesty of their postures. My work can
be seen in galleries around the world, magazines, wildlife and
landscape sites.
Whenever I succeed in capturing a frame, that feels like a
unique and special moment, it is then I know I have touched
the “divine” state called Art”...

Scott Fowler
For me black and white photography is
about story telling, so when I am taken by
an image, I try to bring the emotion that I
felt when I took the image out, so the viewer
can enjoy it as much as I did capturing it.
Most of my images are controlled in one or
more ways. I often construct the story I see
in my head into black and white imagery.
I run photographic workshops on a New
Zealand Merino Sheep station, where I
encourage the participants to tell stories
using black and white photography, and
don’t let the confusion of colour get in the
way.
For me the black and white image has
always been the core, the essence & the
soul of photography. It has a simplicity,
elegance & beauty that can define
description.
I share my thoughts in my photography with
the viewer, the good days & the bad. It is in
the images you just have to look.

Efrat Weidberg
“Happy Hour” is a part of a portrait series
I took back at 2009, while working as a
bartender in Lower Manhattan.
That period of my life was my “in
between”. I left my first job, as a designer
in advertising, to explore the opportunity
of becoming a photographer, an artist or
maybe a writer. I was taking time to be an
observer and thought that learning others
by watching and even creeping will help me
get to know myself.
Although my intention was to tell other
people’s stories, I realized I was eventually
telling my own.
I am currently working as a UX designer,
and use photography as a creative outlet
whenever I want to tell a story. I am
interested in the complicated relationship
between the self and selflessness in portrait
photography and photojournalism.
