I have the big honor to have been shortlisted as one of the 10 HASSELBLAD MASTERS FINALIST for the prestigious HASSELBLAD MASTERS AWARDS 2018, among more than 31 500 entries from all over the world, and I am truly excited and proud about it. Now I need your help to win the final.

The final winner will be decided considering the public vote.
So I would be so happy and honored if you considered voting for my work on the Hasselblad website at this link so my work has the chance to become the Architecture Category Winner.

After coming back from my New York workshop and the scouting trip for my 2018 San Francisco workshop, I was working these days on a review of the Fujifilm GFX 50S medium format camera, the most affordable medium format camera and a great tool if you want to take your photography to the next level, and I intended for that to be my next article.
But in the meantime this very exciting news came and I felt the need to share it with you and also kindly ask you to help me make it even better.

I have never asked publicly for a vote, but this time it’s truly special, so I’m reaching out to you for support.

I know the people I’m asking here are interested in fine art photography, in black and white photography and in creating meaningful work, and I believe that winning this award will give me many more chances to share my knowledge with everyone and be able to help in making fine art photography even stronger, and fine art photographers and artists a real voice in our world and society.

Our world needs art badly. It needs it to find a meaning and to evolve into the future.
This is what I believe we are providing with our work, with our vision and creativity. A better future. A more beautiful, meaningful, a more creative and inspiring future. We can do that with our photography and art, with our (en)Visionography, and this is what I’m striving to do. This is what this award would help me do better.

If you believe in the same things, if you believe that photography can be an art, if you believe that I can serve this art, then I would be honored if you voted for me in this competition, at the link below.

Thank you all, from all my heart. Much love.

PS. I’ll be back with the Fujifilm GFX 50S review in a couple of weeks or even earlier, and I’m also working on an article about long exposure that will help those who need help with it or who want to experiment more. In the meanwhile, take care and you can have a look below at my tutorials and other fine art photography resources.
