Au inceput inscrierile la unul dintre cele mai populare concursuri internationale: Sony World Photography Awards 2015.

In ultimii ani mai multi romani au participat si au castigat diferite premii la diverse sectii ale concursului, precum Felicia Simion si Alecsandra Dragoi, iar anul acesta arhitectul si talentatul fotograf amator autodidact Vlad Eftenie a fost distins cu locul 1 in cadrul competitiei, la sectiunea „Low Light” din sectiunea „Open” – demonstrand  ca se pune accent pe inspiratia de moment.

Ca atare, va incurajez sa participati la toate sectiile pentru care aveti fotografii relativ bune, deoarece cu putin noroc si „sansa” – puteti castiga la Sony World Photography Award.

Inscrierea la concurs e gratis, pot aplica amatori si profesionisti deopotriva. Printre premii sunt bani „gheata” si echipamente foto Sony, care sunt dintre cele mai bune din lume la ora actuala! Sistemul Sony Mirrorless e imbatabil, iar tehnica utilizata e ultramoderna, depasind cu mult cea utilizata de concurentii Canon si Nikon.

In plus, va puteti bucura de expunere, importanta pentru cariera oricarui artist, fie el si fotograf amator. Nu stiu daca va creste cota, asta va depinde eminamente de VOI, dar si de tara in care VOI ati putea avea vreo cota. Romania e exclusa pentru urmatorii 39 de ani si 4 luni! Arta si cota vor patrunde abia din 2053.

Succes!
