Jury's Feedback

  • © Maciek Jasik

    Judge: Maciek Jasik

    New York based Photographer Maciek Jasik does not only tests the limits of color and movement but also tries to find a steadiness between planning and spontaneity.

    His photography aims to reach a balance between aesthetic and emotional concerns with a powerful, yet subtle and unique use of color.

    Maciek explores the notion of identity, gender and the self while working in a parallel world of endless color and bewildering physical phenomena.

    With years of professional experience and his work published everywhere from New York Magazine to Bloomberg Businessweek we are absolutely delighted to have him with us as competition judge.
