1ST PRIZE: Rona Bar And Ofek Avshalom

“I love how Destiny’s powerful and strong gaze takes up a playful meaning as she is holding all these colorful bags that look like candies. The natural light, as well as the neutral background, work perfectly at enhancing the beauty of the subject.” — Alessia Glaviano

2ND PRIZE: Fiifi Abban

“There is nothing out of place in this photograph, the composition, the light, the color palette, and the balance between all the elements present in the frame is perfect! I also love the little “Bonnard” cameo, I’m referring to the man that we notice just if we look with attention on the left of the picture, we can fantasize about it, it looks like he is smiling… It is a picture that makes us want to know more about what we are seeing. Eugenia looks so stunning and powerful, we can imagine her starting the motorcycle and riding into a new adventure.” — Alessia Glaviano

3RD PRIZE: Dmitrijs Hohlovs

“Dmitrijs Hohlov’s striking portrait embodies the essence of fashion photography evoking the work of some of the genre’s most iconic exponents, whilst maintaining his own distinct visual dialect. The model’s contorted torso possesses a sculptural quality, a nod perhaps to the great modernist photographers of the nude form (such as Edward Weston and Ruth Bernhard) whilst the fact that her face is hidden from view, helps direct the viewer’s attention to her skirt, its striking, obsidian pleats, sleek and tactile against the soft pastel backdrop.”  – The Independent Photographer Editors
