ND awards Honorable Mention

I am very pleased and happy to share with you that my photo "Faith" has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the ND Awards 2022 international photography contest in the Editorial: Photo Essay / Story category.

(This photo, which is so precious for me, has also been awarded a Bronze award and an Official Selection in the 2021 TIFA awards.)

Faith (Inspired by the items immigrants and refugees carry with them during their "exile")

What does really mean to stay connected with your faith? Is it a profound need, a personal quest for spirituality, the fear of the unknown, and death? Is it a tradition, following the steps of your family and your ancestors? Is it just a plexus of laws, rituals, and interdictions or something deeper? This image shows a man holding in his arms an old icon, a relic of his family, passing from generation to generation. What`s the emotional weight of such an object?

PX3 2022 Honorable Mention Winner - Zeitenlik - Single Winner

CERTIFICATE (px3.fr)

This is a series of photos entitled Zeitenlik. Zeitenlik is an Allied military cemetery and World War I memorial park in Thessaloniki, the largest military cemetery in Greece. It is a unique monument that reminds us of the legacy of all those who fought for freedom almost a century ago (1914-1918). In the last months, I often visit this military cemetery just to realize the cost of the war on human lives and to honour those who gave their all for the common good. I`m trying to visually capture this space of memorialization, following the rhythm of the crosses on the field, the shadows, and the textures.

Congratulations to all the participants for their impressive photographic work!
