Architecture nominee

My photographic work aims to showcase the unseen and often hidden landscape inherent within an ordinary space, based not solely on what one sees, but how one sees it.

This series called LIGHTFALL was taken at the Amir Building in the Tel Aviv Museum of Modern Art.

Called an “architectural spectacle”, this beautifully constructed addition designed by Preston Scott Cohen, is far from just any ordinary space that houses and displays art. Its geometric play of line, shape, light and shadow throughout its interior highlights both its complexity and simplicity of style.

Emilia Kashfian is an international award-winning fine art photographer, based in Los Angeles. Her art has been exhibited in various galleries across the world, including New York City, Portland, Paris, Barcelona, Budapest, Athens, Melbourne, and Hanoi. She has also received numerous accolades, including the Julia Margaret Cameron Award, the International Photography Awards(IPA), the Paris Photo Prize (PX3), the Black & White Spider Awards, the Fine Art Photography Awards (FAPA), the International Color Awards, the Tokyo International Foto Awards(TIFA), the Moscow International Foto Awards (MIFA), the Budapest International Foto Awards (BIFA), the IPPAWARDS, the MPA's, as well as a 5-time Featured Artist on Apple’s Shot On iPhone campaign.

With her photographs, Emilia strives to capture the beauty in the everyday, showcasing hidden patterns and landscapes within an ordinary space. Whereas most people see and register the world in a utilitarian way, she sees beyond what the mind has been trained to absorb. In the process, she aims to awaken a new sense of awareness, inviting the viewer to visualize a different dimension in the ordinary interaction of objects and spaces.
