The EYE’EM Award 2010 is dedicated to a new generation of photographers. With the increasing quality of in-built cameras, more and more mobile phone users discover their passion for photography. Capturing both, people and context, situations as they happen, these photographers become voyeurs of the everyday and document the world as they see it.
“To take photographs means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second – both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one?s head, one?s eye and one?s heart on the same axis.”
– Henri Cartier-Bresson
