Results Contest 'Connection and interaction in photography'

by Yvette Depaepe
Published the 6th of May 2026

 

'Connection and interaction in photography'
Photography lives in the space between observer and subject. True images are born not from looking, but from connection - from the quiet exchange of presence, trust and awareness. Thanks for the heartwarming and precious submissions.

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place : Roberto Corinaldesi
2nd place: Hilda van der Lee
3rd place : Louie Luo 

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions.
Thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Connection and interaction in photography' 

 


The currently running theme is 'Tall versus Small'
The contrast between tall and small in photography is a powerful visual tool that expresses more than physical size — it communicates emotion, hierarchy, vulnerability, and strength. By manipulating proportion and perspective, photographers can guide how we feel about a scene.

This contest will end on Tuesday the 19th of May 2026 in the afternoon.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.

congratulations Roberto on your first place. Thanks to those who voted for my photo. The hands are the hands of my mother, 95 years old, 3 months before she died. Here she is holding the newborn of her friend. I think one can understand how proud i am to are second in this contest. ALthough i would be even more proud if the photo was on the first place ❤
