and cultural life, open to all kind of social classes – a

place where people can spend a lot of time, especially

in childhood. Everybody can afford the inexpensive

entrance fee. The series was shot in summer 2018 at

a height of only a few metres.

Lens: 50mm f/1.8

Exposure: 1/500 sec, f/5, ISO100

The idea of the Sony World Photography Awards is to establish a platform for the development of photographic culture. The Awards do this

by recognizing great advancements in photography through the Outstanding Contribution to Photography prize, as well as finding new

talents of the future. Sony is committed to supporting global photography. This is demonstrated not only via the Awards, but also by its

significant grant, which offers selected winners of the student competition US$3500 and professional competition US$7000 to develop

projects. The 2020 Sony World Photography Awards opens for entries 1 June 2019. All entries are free at http://www.worldphoto.org
