1st Place, Julien Mauve, France

It’s interesting to observe the way we act in front of the camera, how we include ourselves in the landscape, how the landscapes triggers the desire to affirm our presence. While this project is about space exploration and discovery, it’s also about our behaviour in front of landscapes and how we create pictures that will share our personal story with the world. It asks whether we travel to discover new places, a change of scene, new cultures, or whether we travel to look for pictures of ourselves and to prove that we exist.
