Celebrating the Google Photography Prize Finalists
16 de abril de 2012
Back in November we announced the
Google Photography Prize 2012
, a competition offering student photographers a chance to share their best photographs with the world.
Groundbreaking photographer Ansel Adams once said, “There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs,” so we left the themes for submission suitably broad, with 10 categories that combined classic photography genres with online photography trends including “Night,” “Travel,” “Sound/Silence” and “Me.”
We were thrilled by the interest in the contest: nearly 20,000 students from 146 countries took part, of which 100 were shortlisted. You can see these in the gallery on our
website
.
Our
judging panel
of seven leading photography experts chose the 10 finalists whose work will be shown in our exhibition in the Saatchi Gallery. Today we’re announcing the finalists:
Collin Avery
(U.S.),
Viktor Johansson
(Sweden),
Kyrre Lien
(Norway),
Alexandra Claudia Manta
(Romania),
Balázs Maté
(Hungary),
Adi Sason
(Israel),
Oliver Seary
(UK),
Dana Stirling
(Israel),
Sasha Tamarin
(Israel),
Zhao Yi
(China). Here are examples of the finalists' work—you can see their full albums on their Google+ profiles.
If you’re in London, come to the Saatchi Gallery to see the work of our finalists displayed alongside a new exhibition of international photography,
Out of Focus
, starting April 25. The overall winner of the Google Photography Prize will be announced on April 24, and will go on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to a location of their choice with a professional photographer as their mentor.
We hope you enjoy these fantastic photos as much as we did.
