TOUCH
WINNERS LIST
THEME SUMMARY

The urge to touch and feel the photograph. Skin, body, fruits, or nature; with such refreshing subjects, new senses are incited within us and beauty awakens through these sensible details. At other times, it may evoke that touch to someone nearby or you can of course simply trace the surface of the object with a close-up. Your relationship to the subject in mind, bring to life new pictures with the theme “TOUCH”.
[Submission Period] from January 20 to March 20

JUDGE

Lina Scheynius

Born 1981 in Sweden. Lives and works in London. Scheynius produces stunning shots of nudes, still life, and intimate self portraits. Raw sexuality and naked bodies punctuate her work, often depicting her close friends, lovers, and herself. Her photography captures quiet moments of intimacy and hidden beauty that would usually remain unseen by the outside world, as if ripped from the pages of her diary. Recent solo exhibitions include: BODY, Galerie Tanja Wagner, Berlin (2019); Unseen 2018, Amsterdam (2018); Exhibition 04, Christophe Guye Galerie, Zurich (2017); Exhibition 03, Taka Ishii Gallery, Tokyo (2014).
