    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Nudes

The picture presents Dorka in a Budapest studio, once industrial and now transformed into an artist’s space adorned with floral motifs. Her pale skin contrasts with the vivid setting, lending her a statue-like presence. Though firmly situated in the space, her stillness lifts the body beyond the ordinary, turning form into presence rather than display. Carefully shaped light renders the figure almost sculptural, using nudity as a narrative vehicle rather than for seduction or desire.

Eric is a French amateur photographer who explores the bare figure through an approach that transcends conventional eroticism. Recognized through many awards, prints, and five exhibitions, his work treats nudity not as display but as a sensual vehicle for narratives. Shaped by mentors Arboulan, Szeni Jung, and Sandor Benkoe, he builds long-term collaborations with most of his models based on trust and shared creativity, while developing his project Venusonearth across Germany, Hungary, and Croatia. His pictures explore the balance between revealing and concealing, intimacy and distance.
