Water 2019

Our relationship with water is complex. It sustains life. It’s a source of beauty and wonder, and is itself an environment for a staggering variety of life. It can be devastating in its destructive force, and equally devastating by its absence. But that does not diminish the joy and serenity it can provide us in its many forms. You can submit images that describe our relationship with the many facets of water within this contest.
Deadline: Monday, May 27, 2019
Gallery exhibition: July 18 - August 10, 2019

Sony World Photography Awards - 2nd Place, 'Henkō' by plainpicture photographer Massimo Giovannini

'Henkō' by plainpicture photographer Massimo Giovannini:

Henkō - a Japanese word composed of kanjis meaning “change” and “variable/unusual light” - conveys the idea of a shifting light which transforms our perception of the objects it illuminates. The work is not intended to trick the viewer, only to introduce doubt; to make them question preconceived ideas on gender and the presumed veracity of even the most candid photographic image.
