2nd place at the 2017 National Awards of the Sony World Photography Awards!

Surprise! Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 2016. Get a print.

It’s another outstanding day for me! Surprise! has won the 2nd place at the 2017 National Awards of the Sony World Photography Awards! The Sony World Photography Awards is the biggest photography competition in the world and The National Awards is a global program to find the best single photographs taken by local photographers in 66 countries.

It’s such an incredible feeling to have my work recognise in such a way. After being published in 2 books, WeStreet 2016 and the Street Photographer Book vol.2, I am so glad that this photo has been selected amongst 227,596 other amazing photos. My only regret is that I won’t be able to go to London for the Sony World Photography Awards & Martin Parr – 2017 Exhibition at the prestigious Somerset House, London, 21st April – 7th May, 2017, where all the winners’ photos, including Surprise!, will be displayed.

I just want to say thank you to the jury for giving me such an honour, and congrats to all the participants, and to all the winners! I know a few of them, both in real life and virtually, they are all great photographers that deserve to be here. And I’m glad to be next to them 🙂

The full selection of photos can be seen here. More info about the Sony World Photography Awards there.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to admire all the complexity, all the details of a winning photo, at your home? Hanging on your wall? Why not getting an original, signed fine art print in limited edition?
