More information about the Judge:
In 1980, as a concerned photographer with a clear vision, he embarked on a mission to extensively document various aspects of life in New York City, from youth culture to a wide range of social conditions. Due to its spontaneity and uniqueness, the streets and subway system became backdrops for many of his photographs.
The Street Photography Competition aims to celebrate and reward photographers for being the best at observing and recording life on the streets.
It is our great pleasure to present the work of these 10 incredibly talented artists!

“Shadows of New York’s early steel years” — New York, USA
“The sun came out and these beautiful shadows appeared telling their different story of space, time, and dimension. An illusion to the first black and white photographs of New York during the steel building of skyscrapers.”
“A wonderful image that showcases the potential of more elevated perspectives in street photography. Captured from above, the dark figures and their umbras form an arresting composition that almost verges on abstract, and immediately brings to mind the work of 20th-century greats, René Burri and Andre Kertesz.” – The Independent Photographer editors
