“I love the shooting process itself. I like to work with people, pick up images, and come up with stories that I want to tell with this or that photo. I decided to take part in the contest because it is an interesting experience.

It is very difficult to submit your work for evaluation, especially for a person who is a freshman in the field of photography. Understanding that the competition is high, did not give me peace of mind. I spent a long time choosing photos to add to the album. It is difficult to evaluate your own work and choose a photo to fit both the theme and the quality requirements.

If you check the works of the photo contest of previous years, you can note huge progress in the quality of photos. And it's very cool! This year, the competition was high, and a lot of outstanding works were presented for the contest. I had my favorites, who deservedly won prizes.”
