Street Photography nominee

The photograph was taken in Altea, a sleepy Spanish seaside town in the Costa Blanca area. The Mediterranean old town houses are tightly packed, close to one another and linked by roofed and open passageways. When the light finds its way between these buildings, magic happens.

Ragnar B. Varga is an accomplished Hungarian-born Norwegian fine art photographer.
He spent several years discovering the world, living in London, Hungary, Spain and even sailing around the globe as a cruise ship photographer before returning to Norway. The energy and character of all these places have profoundly influenced his art.
Varga has a clear vision for his work and a common voice that he uses in his approach. His photographs share an engaged sense of interactions between people and their environments. The images have a wonderful amount of personality, the structures of his scenes energize the eye and capture something that would easily go missed or overlooked. His passion for photography provides an incredible amount of human connection, and it’s clear that he cares deeply about the images that he is making. Describing his work, he says: “My work is a profound contemplation of the world around us. It slows down time and captures a moment of stillness in a chaotic world.”
Ragnar B. currently lives in Bergen, Norway.
