Nikon 100th Anniversary Prize winner: ‘Greeting to the Sun’ by Annamaria Bruni

#NikonPhotoContest 2016-2017 winners have been announced in Tokyo. Today, we will share the winners with you starting with Nikon 100th Anniversary Prize winner: ‘Greeting to the Sun’ by @annamariabruni.ph who is from Italy.

Lead Judge, Neville Brody, shares his thoughts of this winning image: ‘In what could be a modern image by Vermeer or Rembrandt, ‘Greeting to the Sun’ by @annamariabruni.ph, the winner of the 2017 Nikon 100th Anniversary Prize Anniversary award, captures a single 73 year-old woman in her darkened living room picked out by a small patch of low, bright sun streaming through the shuttered window. The woman is in prayer, her posture at right angles to the line of the sun.

This serene #celebration of a new day is magical to us, the calmness of the image draws us in, the details in the objects creating a narrative for our imagination. Again, softness, contrast, light and dark are the powerful mechanisms used here to tell a human story, a delicate expression that feels more like a beautifully observed still life.’ As #winner @annamariabruni.ph shares, ‘This photo is my personal tribute to my beloved Egypt, which has been my home for over ten years. The intention behind this photograph of a woman praying by her window, was to express calm and tranquility, to give a new sense to the word “celebration”. A different way to picture it: we should always be grateful for every moment we live, and celebrate each and every one of them.’ Shot on a #NikonD800 + AF-S #NIKKOR50mm f/1.8G
