After two intensive rounds and the screening of more than 3,560 photographs, the winners of the first international Hahnem\u00fchle Student Photo Competition have now been announced.<\/h5>\n

Under the motto ‘Show us your Series’, the Student Photo Competition started on March 1, 2019 and addressed the creative up-and-coming photographers. All registered students with the focus on photography were eligible to participate. The expectations were high and the task demanding. A photo series with five motifs representing a self-chosen topic with its own focus had to be submitted. Ultimately, more than 700 students from over 50 countries have taken up this challenge.<\/p>\n

The entries were evaluated in two steps. The jury<\/a>, consisting of photographers, photojournalists, gallery owners and other experienced experts from the photo industry, selected 50 finalists from all online entries. Then these finalists had to submit their photo series printed on Hahnem\u00fchle paper. Hahnem\u00fchle provided them the paper. In the final step, the jury selected the three best photo series from the 50 finalists. Not only the creativity, but also the photographic quality and the selection of the paper matching the subject were judged. Above all, the high level and the great potential of many entries were impressive.<\/p>\n

1st<\/sup> place – “simili modo” by Daniel Niedermeier and Jan Staiger<\/h6>\n

Right from the start, the winning series of the German duo Daniel Niedermeier and Jan Staiger stood out. The series convinced the entire jury in all evaluation points. ‘simili modo’ is the most complete work and captivates with a very strong concept. The simulation of realities in areas such as research, science and medicine is playing an increasingly important role. “The edit is very tight and exceptionally good. Many levels of information. Also, technically a very good work, which is exquisitely photographed and printed,” judged the jury of the Student Photo Competition. This impressive achievement is rewarded with prize money of 1,500 \u20ac. The ‘simili modo’ series will also be exhibited at Photokina 2020 at the Hahnem\u00fchle booth in Cologne and at the ‘Eisfabrik<\/a>‘ gallery in Hanover for six weeks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/5″]
