DAILY LIFE: 2017 SONY WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS – 2nd Place National Awards
Image Name: In de wolken / delighted
Photographer Name: Selma van der Bijl
Year: 2017
Image Description: “The image I submitted is from the series ‘Me, myself and him’, which is a photographic journey through the first months of parenthood. Our son Tibbe was born after almost 7 years of unexplained infertility. I documented this life changing event with intimate and personal images of my family. This picture captures a spontaneous yet private moment between my dad and my son, a portrait of a grandfather who is finally able to hold is grandson in his arms. As a photographer I try to capture life as it is, focusing on authentic moments. My images are straight out of my camera, no digital manipulation or double exposures, what I see is what you get.”
