In this compilation, we wish to capture the delightful spirit of summer through the stunning images of the 2021 BIFA winners. The chosen images evoke feelings of enthusiasm and vibrancy, which is why they make us think of the summertime. Hopefully, they'll give you the same impression!
The ephemeral geometries of the shadows, sometimes complex, sometimes simple, have always had a very special allure and attraction; the protagonists of the scene are the shadows, able to liberate the imagination, creating surreal and impalpable images, made of "darkness" of absence with a suggestive effect of visual ambiguity: the subject is outside the frame but yet it is inside the scene!
The dancers dove into the water while dancing elegantly while donning stunning dance attire. Through the unique cut-out glass windows on the pool wall, the photographer is able to capture the joy of the dance. Use AFC focus and high-speed continuous photography to catch the lovely figure and the lovely tale of the dance in the water at the meeting point of light and darkness in a moment.
Small fishing community in the Philippines where young people play basketball after fishing on the lone roadway.
A freshwater lake called Inle Lake (Burmese) is located in Myanmar's Shan State's Nyaungshwe Township in Taunggyi District (Burma). The iconic image of Myanmar's Inle Lake is a leg-rowing fisherman. Leg-rowing is essentially an Intha traditional method of fishing. The leg-rowing technique is still used by traditional fishermen, who stand at the stern and grab the boat's hull with one foot while wrapping the other leg around an oar. The fisherman will use conical-shaped nets that they submerge in the lake to catch a limited number of carp.
The photographer intended for summer 2020 (in Sardinia) to be the first summer when Covid 19, the virus that has brought the world to its knees, had to be dealt with. Because there was a chance that the second wave may occur, it had to be the summer of caution and distance. Sadly, such was not the case. Despite the staggering number of fatalities and the graphic pictures broadcast on television, the initial caution was gradually replaced by a longing for freedom, which eventually led to complete disregard for the law. Today, the infection appears to be spreading.
The persimmon harvest season occurs every fall. Women in rural areas are hard at work gathering and turning leftovers into dry cakes. The photographs demonstrate the women's attitude of perseverance through trials and hard effort.
The term "SUP" has gained a lot of popularity recently. The photographer was photographed during a vacation to Lanyu, Taiwan, where he just fell in love with, under the direction of experienced trainers, regardless of who can ride the SUP stand-up sailboat on the sea in a sophisticated and graceful style.
Typically, MALDIVES are photographed in bright, rich hues. The photographer had the good fortune to witness and capture these islands in subdued, pastel hues.

Earth Day is now generally acknowledged as the world's largest secular celebration, with over a billion people participating each year in a day of action to improve human behavior and implement global, national, and local policy reforms.
We want to celebrate and raise awareness about the need of fighting for our planet and appreciating all of its beauty. Enjoy this compilation of BIFA 2021 winners in the Nature category, which includes some of the stunning professional images submitted to the competition.
This was an Icelandic aerial shot. The photographer recently flew in a tiny plane and studied the glacier river's variety and abstraction. At a later period, you might not see the same pattern. It is enough for him to appreciate the present beauty and relish the amazing moment due to its changing character.
The photographer was able to appreciate the valley's essence for 72 hours, marveling at how the sun's rays modified the landscape's viewpoint. The photographer's team used brown and gold ground and field tones in this project. The dawn and sunset light allowed us to experiment with shadows, resulting in a scene with a greater dynamic range.
What gives horses the ability to be so dramatic? This bold horse flaunts its unending mane and appears to be traveling forward in time and space. Cécile Zahorka is an equestrian photographer and adventurer who specializes in fine art horse photography, exciting photo trips, and a fascination with endangered domestic animals.
Located next to Lake Kawaguchi in Japan, shooting the beautiful dawn and reflection of Mount Fuji.
The loricate pines in Pollino Park appear to those who look at them as clinging to the rocks, exposed to the rigors of winter, winds, and bad weather that draw their contours in a unique way; almost as if they were moving arms pointing to the sky, legendary figures with tormented movements, offer scenarios that entice the visitor to interpret with their own creativity. Being in the middle of the loricate pines, often known as "living fossils," is like being transported back in time. A little-known and untouched location that needs to be viewed by the entire world.
The photographer intended to catch all four components in one shot: the sky, the water, their wonderful environment, and the creature facing him. He realized that the only way to catch all of these features in one shot was to fly above the orangutan and position himself downwards to capture the orangutan's face and the perfect reflection of the sky in the motionless water below. The most difficult aspect of my encounter was getting to the spot in a three-hour boat trip over waves while the orangutan was in front of me and remaining calm.
Fog on the lake early in the morning, beautiful pictures if in a dream.
Flowers frozen. By freezing them, the photographer may add another depth to the image. The flowers may be placed in any arrangement and are no longer affected by gravity. Ice also provides a texture that may be changed by melting parts of it.
Photographed from a helicopter at various altitudes and with seasonally changing sunshine and weather, the photographer has caught natural abstractions of shifting colors, tones, textures, and depth from the environment below. Excluding representational aspects removes viewers' connection to reality, stimulates their creativity, and tests their perceptions of light, shape, and form. My photographs, which are not digitally created, disengage viewers from current technology, allowing them to get immersed in nature's tranquility and gain a fresh understanding for our delicate natural systems.
Fuji (wisteria) is a traditional Japanese art motif, much like cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms and wisteria blooms both bloom in bunches. In crowded situations, many little flowers blossom, which seems to have something in common with the Japanese, who place a higher importance on organizational skill than individual talent.
The Budapest International Foto Awards committee gets hundreds of outstanding images each year, making the selection process more difficult than ever. Our favorite BIFA Honorable Mentions from 2021 offer us fresh viewpoints in all of the categories, despite the fact that they weren't picked as category winners.
Beach cottages in the south of England that are all the same. Susan's interest is traveling; she enjoys learning about other cultures and capturing and sharing what she sees with her camera.
The Presidential Palace of Qasr Al Watan (Palace of the Nation) is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The somewhat modest facade covers an immensely intricate and colorful series of inner chambers, which were opened to the public in 2019. The interior areas, which are heavily adorned with gold and contain stained glass windows, reflect Islamic shape and design. These images attempt to convey some of the diversity present within this outstanding collection of interior spaces.
Sand dunes are one of the photographer's favorite subjects. He avoids rapid recognition of the original topic by using abstraction - a different perspective and color scheme. The brain is stimulated to interpret the image again and form a more personal perspective and sensations. A traveler eventually encounters an oasis with a lagoon in the middle of a scorching desert burned by the sun after 10 days of exhausting trekking. Water, verdant meadows, snacks, and much-needed relaxation appear to be available at Oasis. Is there a lagoon somewhere? Sand dune photography with creative processing.
The photographer's project aims to give her own perspective of myths and stories associated with her homeland while also exploring people's inner concerns. Folk stories can be found in a crack in the ceiling, a scream disturbing the woods' silence, or my cat's eyes looking at me in the middle of the night.
The Venice Carnival, one of the most well-known and admired carnivals in the world, is told via Paolo Sollazzo's photographic language and style.
Linchetto is to blame, according to Lucca folklore, when you can't find your key or anything mysteriously disappears in your home. Linchetto is thought to be a wicked spirit who plays games on people in their own homes, such as causing knots in your hair so you have to trim it or stealing something so you can't find it. He is a tidy freak who can't stand chaos. Linchetto can be deterred by leaving a dish of berries or rice on the counter. He is incapable of counting. He'll want to count right away. He'll grow bored quickly because he can't count.
The first snowfall in Skopje, 2021. A photograph of a person standing alone while the world and weather pass by. It's the same way in life.

A happy couple is here to promise each other for life in the town's church, which is full of delight.
Their exchange is magical, full of respect, appreciation, and pure love. Vera is her name. She has five grandchildren and is 86 years old. At the age of four, one of them was abandoned by his mother. He is now thirty-three years old, and he owes his grandma a debt of gratitude for her love, strength, and time spent with him. The entire purpose of this is her name. FAITH. This connection between the younger and older generations and our thankfulness aids people in their daily lives, filling them with meaning and awareness. Instills hope in anything positive.
At an interface between two different media, reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront so that it returns to the medium from which it originated. The reflection of the church on the car window blends in with the image of the newlyweds in this photograph.
It is uncommon in Taiwan to be able to wear traditional wedding attire or host a wedding in an old-fashioned venue. This photo series depicts many Taiwanese weddings! In tribal cultures, the Qing period, and Japanese structures, were held or photographed.
At a catholic church in Kompong Luong floating village on Tonle Sap lake in Cambodia, a bride and groom of floating peasants execute a wedding ceremony.
Despite the fact that the weather was not as predicted during a pre-wedding event in heavy rain, the two of them were still having a good time. For the photographer, it's crucial to be able to capture feelings in pre-wedding images rather than just focusing on attire and beauty.
Rona Bar and Ofek Avshalom, photographers, are a married couple who live and work together. They produced a timeless project on intimacy and love by photographing couples at their homes during a moment of temporary difficulty. The images provide a one-of-a-kind and candid look into the universe that the couple has created for themselves. The project's heart is in the genuine and varied forms of real-life relationships.
The couple ultimately got married after postponing it for nearly a year owing to the pandemic. After the wedding ceremony, they are definitely enjoying their first sunset together.
Oksana and Roman met at the Special Olympics, where they both competed. Their wedding was planned by their parents, and they have been dating for 5 years. They now reside in a country property owned by Oksana's parents in the Lviv Oblast of Ukraine. In modern culture, the series explores the limits of normalcy. The photographer intended to use the series to attempt to bridge the gap between those with disabilities and the general population.
The bride realized at the last moment before meeting her future spouse that the pledge she had written earlier was too dry and official. As a result, she decided to put everything on hold and compose a fresh one that reflected her true feelings and emotions.
