"With this photo, I wanted to show the beauty of Vietnamese culture to the world. This group of friends was all wearing an 'Ao Dai,' Vietnam's national garment. This outfit is inseparable from the image of Vietnamese women, both within Vietnam and beyond its borders, and especially at official ceremonies, conferences, and weddings. It is also one of the most popular uniforms for Vietnamese high school and university students. In this poetic setting with blooming flowers floating on the river, the authentic bamboo bridge symbolizes the connexion between the past and the present."

"I met these two Hmong girls on the side of the road during my trip to North Vietnam. It was a mild day, where you could still feel the fresh air coming from the mountains. They had spent the afternoon picking these beautiful flowers that would be used for medicinal purposes in their tribe. Their lovely faces and beautiful smiles made me appreciate the moment."

"The black-naped monarch is a small bird that lives throughout tropical Southeast Asia. During spring, the female lays three eggs in a small cup-shaped nest up in a tree. In the photo, you can see the male bird feeding its new-born chick: unfortunately, it's the only hatching that remained alive in the nest, as it has been previously destroyed by a bunch of local kids who stole the 2 other eggs."

"I was lucky to capture the moment where a bee collected the pollen from a sunflower. The process of pollination is critical, and bees have a crucial role in this. As they fly from flower to flower, they transfer pollen with their legs. Over 80% of the world's flowering plants require a pollinator to reproduce. Bees are the most efficient pollinators. As I watched the whole process, I felt excitement and admiration for their work, transferring the pollen tirelessly from one flower to another."

"Every year, the tulip fields are the first signs of Spring in the Netherlands. If you drive through particular farmer areas, you see them everywhere! This year, 2020, I thought I wouldn't visit my homeland fields as I was traveling the world with my partner (and our cameras). Just like everyone else on this planet, we were forced to go home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant that we had to go back to the Netherlands. As soon as our quarantine ended, we visited the Tulip Fields close to our home. My partner and I decided to take my mother with us, and we were delighted to let her see what we’re doing as photographers. We woke up at 5 am and drove to Noordwijkerhout to see the sunrise. My mother was pleased to model for us, and the happiness she radiated is something I will never forget."

"With a total area of up to 7000 m2, the West Lake flower valley is like a garden of Eden in the heart of Hanoi. Previously this area was largely a deserted lotus lagoon; but since it's been restored with thousands of flowers, this land has turned so vibrant. When you step into this place, you step in a bubble of peace and quiet away from busy and noisy Hanoi. In this vast flower garden, there are thousands of flowers displaying their beauty, thousands of colors are opening before your eyes."

It's a story about a beautiful brown girl who was not confident about her beauty. She wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth, so she faced life as a reality to provide for her loved ones, until someone told her “flip the beauty upside down, and you'll see if it’s real.”

On this particular morning, we went to a spot renowned for its great view over the valley. Because of the popularity of the place, I couldn't get a good view without a telephoto zoom lens, so I flew my drone. The final result seems so quiet: just a new peaceful day starting in Italy. Ironically, the bustling coronavirus pandemic had started to spread a few days before that - I will remember this sunrise for the rest of my life..."

"I wanted to emphasize the importance of flowers in our lives since they are present at all stages: from the moment we are born and until we die. The photo represents how flowers are our companions. We must learn to respect and care for them from childhood, teaching our children to plant them, water them, fertilize them. We should stress the importance that they have as living beings; that, in addition to being decorative, they also give life to other beings and keep the planet alive. To create the photo, I cut a flowerpot and glued soil for plants inside so that it did not move while taking the photo. I had to take the photo from below, and I explained to the girl who held the plant that I was like a worm that came out of the ground so that she could understand what she was doing and how she had to position herself. Thiqt made her laugh, and it was difficult to take a clear picture because she shacked from laughing."

"I remember that everyone had left the house, and I was alone in the kitchen. There was a special atmosphere, I felt at peace. Knowing this, I left everything I was doing, sat down on a little bench (the one in the photo), and I let my senses be flooded by what was happening. I could still smell the coffee and the toast, the silence was absolute... but the light was sublime. When I realized this, I went from contemplation to action. I looked for my camera, went out into the garden, looked for some flowers, distributed them in three little jars of water, and put them in the same place where I had been sitting and had felt sheltered. I don't really know why I did it. I guess I wanted to show that sometimes the light embraces us in a very special way that we do not realize it."

"2020 turned out to be a very unusual year for the whole world, to put it mildly. We have spent most of the spring at home, in isolation. This magical moment, when nature awakens and where everything blooms, we need to observe it from our windows. Spring is the beginning, just like a new-born: it's young, unbelievable, pure, and soft. That's why my 6-year-old daughter and I decided to saddle this picture using artificial flowers and sunlight from the window at home. In Russia, all the flower shops are closed for the period of the quarantine. They have suffered great losses, millions of fresh flowers were destroyed."
