由建筑摄影家Andrew Prokos拍摄的一组关于巴西首都巴西利亚的夜景照片是今年国际摄影大奖赛的获奖作品之一。这组名为“尼迈耶的巴西利亚”的照片抓住了尼迈耶作品超现实的建筑特征,而这位大师再50年前设计了巴西的首都——巴西利亚。
Night photographs of the Brazilian capital created by architectural photographer Andrew Prokos are among this year’s winners at the International Photography Awards competition. Entitled “Niemeyer’s Brasilia” the series of photographs capture the surreal architecture of Oscar Niemeyer, who shaped the Brazilian capital for over 50 years.
摄影师Andrew Prokos说道:“我自身对尼迈耶的建筑作品非常着迷,他们就像是艺术品一般。而在尼迈耶的漫长一生中,他对巴西首府巴西利亚的建筑,有着前所未有的影响。尼迈耶以104岁的高龄在2012年去世,他同时也是巴西最有名的建筑师之一,代表作品有美国纽约的联合国大厦。
“I became fascinated by Oscar Niemeyer’s buildings as works of art in themselves, and the fact that Niemeyer had unprecedented influence over the architecture of the capital during his long lifetime” says photographer Andrew Prokos. Niemeyer, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 104, was Brazil’s best known architect and the designer of the United Nations buildings in New York.
“2013国际摄影大赛非常荣幸收到了Andrew Prokos的这组在夜间摄影类下的“尼迈耶的巴西里卡”作品。”评奖组组长Linda Dzhema如是说道。“这份作品得到了评委小组的一致认可,并在其他10000份作品中脱颖而出。这份精彩的作品真是太好了!”今年的比赛评审团队成员包括了顶尖的国际美术馆馆长,照片类编辑,导演,还有来自像国家地理社会,纽约时代杂志,,耶鲁大学艺术美术馆,皇家图像社团,英国照片月刊,英国塔特杂志,Taschen书籍还有Phaidon报刊等组织的艺术品收藏家们。
