  • Hello, my name is Ionut Cirja, I'm an enthusiast photographer from Romania, currently living in London. Thank you for the great news and the honor of choosing my photo as the winner of this competition. This picture was taken in London and is part of a project I recently started. I used a Sony A7 II camera and 55mm lens and for post-processing I did some raw corrections and a conversion to black & white using Nik Silver Efex. I hereby take the opportunity to congratulate all the contestants.

  • I'm Josh Jordan and this image was taken whilst on holiday in Bali, Indonesia. Canon 5D MKII with 24-105 f/4. I saw this young man as we were traveling with our driver and I asked the driver to match speeds with him while I slowed down the shutter to get some background blur. Post -processing was a simple b/w conversion in LR. Please follow me on IG and twitter at @joshphotogr4phy for more photos :))

  • Red in Saigon . I capture that moment while waiting for a taxi in Ho Chi Minh city (Vietnam) with a Sony A7RII and a 24mm Sigma 1.4 ART lens . I can't say that I was lucky to capture this as everyone who knows Asia will know that in many Asian countries , people will stop at the traffic light only a few seconds after it turns red hehehe ... Thanks for the award !
