Sony World Photography Awards 2020: desvelados los 63 ganadores nacionales

Sony World Photography Awards 2020: desvelados los 63 ganadores nacionales entre 345.000 participantes

Un año más, y ya van 13 convocatorias de los premios Sony World Photography, conocemos a los ganadores nacionales de los más de 60 países o regiones que participan: Argentina, Bulgaria, Centroamérica, Italia, China continental... y por supuesto España. Como siempre sorprende la calidad de las imágenes realizadas en 2019 por fotógrafos de todo el mundo con cualquier cámara en sus manos.

Este concurso, organizado por la World Photography Organisation, tiene la idea de promocionar a los fotógrafos de los 63 países/regiones de todo el mundo. En esta categoría premian a un fotógrafo de cada país por una única imagen. Y así les permiten enseñar su trabajo en la exposición Sony World Photography Awards 2020 en Somerset House, Londres, del 17 de abril al 4 de mayo.

Se han presentado en esta ocasión más de 345.000 fotografías, lo que supone el mayor número de inscripciones de todos los concursos que se han convocado hasta ahora. Sería imposible ver a todos los ganadores, así que vamos a destacar los que más nos han llamado la atención en Xataka Foto.

Y por supuesto destacar el trabajo de José Luis Ruiz Jiménez, uno de los fotógrafos de naturaleza más interesantes que podemos encontrar. Tiene en su haber numerosos premios al que podemos sumar el que tenemos ahora entre manos.

Un fotógrafo descubre una cápsula del tiempo con placas fotográficas y decide revelarlas con el proceso de la cianotipia

Nos ha sorprendido el grafismo de las fotografías seleccionadas y la calidad del procesado de las mismas. El laboratorio digital es muy evidente en la mayoría de ellas. Es uno de los concursos más interesantes a nivel mundial y en el que recomendamos siempre participar.

During an expedition on a small sailboat, we explore the Antarctica Peninsula by diving below the surface. Although the conditions are extreme with a temperature of minus 1°C, we have documented an extraordinary marine life in its fragile ecosystem such as on this image: crab-eater seals living on the pack-ice but witch are affected by global warming with the melting of the ice.
