Change language:
Hungarian photographer Adrienn Vincze has been the most successful Hungarian contestant in the Moscow International Photo Awards competition this year. From among the many thousand contestants Adrienn has been selected to be given three awards.
She won a gold within the category “Editorial-Environmental”, which went for her picture series “The Story of an Elephant Surgery” that is part of her project called “Behind the bars”. Click HERE to see the project!
She also received two honorable mentions for her pictures “Elegance on a Sofa” and “Dandelion” within the category “Animals/Wildlife”. The picture “Dandelion” features a beautiful white peacock to call one’s attention to the interesting and beautiful fact that flora and fauna reflect similar natural patterns.
Her picture “Elegance on a Sofa” is part of her series featuring pets but is not the first in the series to win her an award, as her picture “Smiley, my friend” of the same series was awarded silver in last year’s competition.
Adrienn’s pictures seem to be popular at the MIFA, which is best displayed by the fact that she was able to set a Hungarian world record in 2017, when she was granted an exceptionally high number of awards at the competition (six in total), among which there were two golds and two silvers.
This record has not been broken in Hungary ever since.
This is the third award within the space of just a few months for Adrienn’s first series of her project called “Behind the bars”. This series had already won two golds at BIFA 2019 and MIFA 2020, respectively and was granted an honorary mention at IPA, New York in category “Editorial-Environmental”.
This unique series of pictures shot at an elephant surgery shows the hardships and challenges around the topic of wildlife conservation. In the space of a little less than 4 years up until now with this success, Adrienn has collected her 29th international award which is now the most recent of a collection featuring award-winning works from a broad spectrum of categories, ranging from architecture to photo manipulation to animals to wildlife.
