Institution: The Independent Photographer.
Judge: Sanja Marusic
For more information: independent-photo.com
The Award aim to discover and bring exposure to the best contemporary artists working across all photographic fields.
“What I find interesting about this photo is that the photographer has managed to create a parallel world in which the choice of colors plays a vital part. With a surrealist touch, the artist succeeds in exploring the way we recognize our planet, almost choosing the colors of the landscape themselves. To me, all the elements; light, color, composition and subject matter, all work really well to convey this message.” – Sanja Marusic about Bizzoni’s photographic work.
