The Best Analog Photos That Won The International Photography Awards 2020 (30 Pics)

"This is a documentary project about growing up in a small community, on an island off the west coast of Norway. It's also about a girl eventually moving away, desperate to distance herself from the place where she was born and raised. But more than anything, it's a personal journey of coming back, after years of therapy and of living abroad, trying to look at the place with fresh eyes—without repressing the bad memories. This is my attempt at embracing the inevitable fact that some things will forever be connected. Maybe I'll never know who I really am. But this is definitely where I'm from."

"This work focuses on the shapes and curves formed by the ever-shifting sand dunes of New Mexico. With few points of reference, scale and perspective become lost, creating a more captivating interpretation of the landscape."

A perfect symbol of—especially the young—community: we communicate through phones and gadgets instead of personally, directly to each other.

"Timothy Morton thinks of climate change as a 'hyperobject'—an incomprehensibly large object stretched in the space-time. Recognizable only in parts, but never all at once. Microplastics are barely noticeable particles, but at the same time omnipresent in the ocean. I imagined them as synthetic plankton of all conceivable colors, invisibly wandering from one place to another. I have spent a great deal of time by the sea, so it was easier for me to see that the white ridges of waves create boundless white-gray paper in space and time. I only needed to fill it with light to reveal the invisible."

"On the prairie of Inner Mongolia, China, I was fortunate to be able to take a helicopter view of the prairie scenery, but I saw this dry river. A local guide told me that if we don't protect the environment, this grassland of more than one million square kilometers will soon become a desert."

Exemplary Home explores the north-western part of rural Bulgaria. It aims to illustrate the effects of rapid urbanization and progressive globalization on the most vulnerable parts of Bulgarian society. It engages with the surreal air of the province and its people through the viewpoint of a Bulgarian expatriate, returning to a landscape leaden with childhood memories. This moment led to the discovery of an intersection of narratives, spanning the periods of The Bulgarian Renaissance, through the Soviet and now Post-Soviet era.

Investigation of the difficult relationship between man and nature in the delicate and precious ecosystem of the Alps which risks being broken by new invasive anthropization interventions. The evocative landscapes of Alpe Devero (Italy) come to life in the moments of urban everyday life. A modern Cassandra opens a window onto an alarming future. A story, a surreal vision of how places today still enchanting and protected could look like, tomorrow, following the new economic exploitation that will transform a place that today belongs to everyone into the property of a few elected men.
