Sony World Photography Awards 2010 Cannes
Landscape 1st price - Series Title: Picture Hunter The
shown images of the viewer's gaze is directed around the
corner. He looks at what the photographer (whether
press-photographer, nature photographer, interested
layman or professional) wants to make a picture of and
can imagine what this picture will look like and what the
other photographer wants to express. The results in a
"cooperation" of the two photographers, a scene of almost
same time from different directions taken, only the
context and intention are different. The pictures were
taken at photographic hotspots like the Yosemite National
Park, Monolake, Norway, San Francisco etc. Landscapes and
places everybody knows from thousands of pictures. The
bases are bases of painting, and the way of building
these pictures is very similar to the pola series. Fist
there is the landscape like a stage, then you play with
the actors and give life to the scene. Then it's up to
the viewer...
