Life under Pandemic - Bounce:
The slum and street children who are playing in sandbar, street and beach after back from industry and other workplace where they do day labourer. They do not go to school and they bear their family through daily income. In their leisure time they play by different props. It’s a common scenario of Bangladesh.

Anna Malgina / Pordenone, Italy
Reconnection - My brother is living in Sochi and I am in the Italian province. The «legalization» of the web photoshooting thanks to quarantine permitted me to continue my project with him which I had started when he visited me. Now it's impossible to be physically together, and he is not ashamed to be photographed, I can be more closed because I am inside his mobile phone. Thanks to pandemic our connection became more intimate. My migration from Russia didn't allow me to watch him grow, now he became a mature young man, for me he was always a child. Now we divided with so many borders, but we united more than ever by two screens and my lenses.

JURORS 

Maggie Steber

Documentary Photographer, member of VII Photo Agency

Gerd Ludwig

Documentary Photographer, National Geographic

Andrea Blanch

Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Musée Magazine

“One of the great things about judging a competition during this shut down period is that it’s like taking a walk and getting to see a large number of things you wouldn’t get to see on any regular walk. That is the case with the Lucie  Foundation photo competition entitled In Isolation: You, Me, We…. because you suddenly feel so very liberated and that, indeed, we are in this together.” – Maggie Steber, Juror

 

 

“I was impressed with the high quality of entries—it was hard to judge with so many wonderful images. I enjoyed the diversity of styles and perspectives represented, and was personally drawn to images that had a strong emotional quality, in which photographers shared their passion and communicated their very personal point of view.” – Gerd Ludwig, Juror

This Open Call is in partnership with Musée Magazine and Sony.
