The Best Analog Photos That Won The International Photography Awards 2020 (30 Pics)

"I took this photo on a foggy day. Near my house is a large old oak tree. On this day, the atmosphere was unusual, In the distance, I saw a person with a dog. The mood was very mysterious and cinematic."

Depicting the time in the ocean.

"'Brother' was shot in Milos, Greece (summer 2018), and features two French teenage siblings leaping together at dusk. It resonated with me as I too have a 'brother' and remember fondly the camaraderie of those moments that now seem a lifetime ago. The boys in the photo were at that age when we felt the closest; after growing up fighting and teasing one another, we bonded after leaving school, genuinely enjoying each other's company. Yet I remember this time to be fleeting, as becoming an adult inevitably means embarking on your own individual journeys, drifting apart once more."

"The fog is a dominant phenomenon during late autumn in the Swiss midlands. Nature appears reduced and often mystical. The way I love to photograph. This series was taken in the close surroundings where I live."

"This work focuses on the shapes and curves formed by the ever-shifting sand dunes of New Mexico. With few points of reference, scale and perspective become lost, creating a more captivating interpretation of the landscape."

A wonderfully composed photo, demonstrating exactly the title.

Photographed above is Ranger Adamson from the Serva Conservancy. He has devoted his life to protecting the wildlife of northern Kenya by diffusing human-wildlife conflict and risking his life fighting poachers. He is just one of many hoping to protect Africa’s wildlife from extinction.

A glimpse into the memories of our childhoods spent during the summer: friends, the sun on our faces, and long nights searching for adventures.

"This photo for me is about summer. About long sunny days, that are always even longer when you are a kid. It's about walking through endless fields of wheat to the seashore, finding a coin in your pocket you never thought was there, and sharing cold soda with your friends. The school is over and autumn seems miles away, there is a great lingering expectation of what will happen during the days to come. Summer is special. And then in the evening, everything gets more mysterious and magical and everything seems different, somehow with a newly found depth to it, unseen in daily light."

"This is a documentary project about growing up in a small community, on an island off the west coast of Norway. It's also about a girl eventually moving away, desperate to distance herself from the place where she was born and raised. But more than anything, it's a personal journey of coming back, after years of therapy and of living abroad, trying to look at the place with fresh eyes—without repressing the bad memories. This is my attempt at embracing the inevitable fact that some things will forever be connected. Maybe I'll never know who I really am. But this is definitely where I'm from."

"Palme Blu is a project focusing on Italian adult society, shot at the beach in a small town on the Adriatic Sea coast named San Benedetto del Tronto. I'm really interested in social customs and behavior. I think people reach, while on holidays and especially at a beach, a particular kind of freedom and yet they are still quite vulnerable. I like to look at the way we relate to each other nowadays, in constant change, and also ponder on how certain behaviors and happenings haven't mutated at all."

"During film processing, I learned that black-and-white film is actually not totally black, nor totally white. The emulsion side is black and white, but the anti-halation side has colors to it. My film-developing process sometimes allows the colors to remain after processing. Is this film with a colored image still a BW film? My films have two distinct realities simultaneously: existence and non-existence. Conceptually, there is a black-and-white film and image. However, visually, there is both a color image and colorized film. Image and color are present, but at the same time, they are not."

"This is a portrait of my best friend Lissy, taken with a Yashica FR1 and a roll of APX black and white film. She is one of the strongest women I know, and gorgeous, and I feel like this photograph captures her essence perfectly."
