Jury's Feedback
1ST PRIZE: Mauricio Holc
“It’s a very beautiful portrait. Nothing is out of place, very well-lit, and composed. I love the colors and the way the uniqueness of Camila Del Campo Grandal is poetically enhanced.” – Alessia Glaviano, Visual Director of Vogue Italia
2ND PRIZE: Philipp Oberhuber
“This image is magic. I have to say that I often daydream of the mountains, which are my happy place, and through this photograph, I’m able to feel there in a moment suspended in time and space. There is also a sense of mystery, it’s cinematic, and like the frame of a movie, you have the feeling that something is about to happen.” – Alessia Glaviano, Visual Director of Vogue Italia
3RD PRIZE: Vikram Kushwah
“A wonderfully composed group portrait that captivates and intrigues with immediacy. Clad in a litany of textures, patterns and hues – vivid yet vérité – the subjects stare unflinchingly down the lens, whilst their corner placement, and the immaculate framing, (sandwiched between the azure water and the alabaster backdrop), further direct the viewer’s attention.“ – The Independent Photographer Editors
