Title: ‘Pet project’
Prize: 400$
The ‘Pet’ project focuses on children with their pets (this is not a digital composite). I started the project working for a client focusing on ‘traditional’ pets like cats and dogs. I decided to explore my own fears of some of the more exotic animals such as snakes and combined that with my focus on the innocence of children in my photographs. I was determined to pair up the fearlessness that I saw in the children with the adult perception of these animals as being dark and sinister.
Finalist – Carlos Antonorsi

Title: ‘AmA’ – Northern Peru
Under the Amazon basins, at the heart of the jungle is the ravine of the Nanai River. For generations, the indigenous people have worked the environment explored the light on a journey towards a latent reality of the climate, for them that origin is in need of satisfying a basic impulse of the dominion of their cosmos. They are dreams materialized in a hidden place in the jungle. In a meeting of two worlds, their universes divide or intertwine over water or earth, soil and stars, consciousness and matter.
Finalist – Jean-François Houde

From the series ‘Twice Better’ – Saint Petersburg, Russia
Andromeda Syndrome is a rare mental disorder that affects people with a fragile soul and bright eyes, as well as those who are acutely aware of the presence of invisible spots on white paper. Those who have experienced attacks compare with the physical struggle of color and form in abstract spaces. Each subsequent image in the series illustrates a new step of pathology, moving away from the real world, and approaching the world of hallucinations.
Finalist – Tom Leighton

Title: ‘HK Scaffolding’ – Hong Kong
Impressive bamboo scaffolding cloaking a Hong Kong building. This series of works explores the incredible architecture of Hong Kong. The structures go to extremes of beauty and functionalism and sit so densely packed, they can give the impression of an impenetrable facade.
