Honorable Mention
Tougher than the Rest
DESCRIPTION
The energy built up over long, hard training and the nervousness accumulated before the competition burst with the starting shot. The adrenaline splashes as high as the water into which the athletes rush with wild determination. The lonely battle against the inner bastard finally turns into a battle against the mass of competitors who give their all. Everyone asks himself: Am I tougher than the rest? The relaxed counterpoint is the obligatory audience, who lean casually on the barrier and simply enjoy the show. AUTHOR
Andreas Eggler, alias Teemu Verpaalu, has been sketching and drawing pictures from everyday life since his earliest childhood and discovered photography in his youth. It soon revealed its artistic and expressive side to him. He is particularly fascinated by the seemingly hidden, the conspicuous in the inconspicuous. With his camera, he takes his cue from painting which means that he carefully constructs and arranges his photos.He draws his inspiration from the most diverse areas of life, which he explores in each case until a theme is comprehensively treated. In his current series of works, he focuses on animal and nature photography, abstract water reflections, street and people photography as well as silhouettes and double exposures.
