Life Framer is an award that showcases creative photography from amateur and professional artists. They remind us of the small space each of us occupies in our vast world, and that a life best lived is one that absorbs as much of it as possible. That may have meant rooting through the archives from past years, or exploring closer to home, seeing your local landscapes and ways of life with eyes afresh.įrom the equator to the Antarctic Circle, via Venice, Volgograd and Varanasi, London and Ladakh, these twenty images from twenty talented photographers act to highlight the immensity of the world, the fascination to be found in its colossal mountainscapes, feats of architecture, varied human cultures, and simple moments such as jumping puddles or feeling the sun on your face. With this competition Life Framer invited to share adventures and explorations, opening our eyes to new places, people and cultures. But with absence comes hunger, and the yearning to travel only became stronger in many of us. With flights grounded and borders closed over the last 18 months, many travel plans have had to go on pause.

Life Framer is delighted to announce the results of their July 2021 competition judged by Norwegian photojournalist and member of Magnum Photos, Jonas Bendiksen.
