The Centre of Attention - Peter Byrne, Finland

The Naked Truth - Carla Broekhuizen, The Netherlands
"So often we feel uncertain about our body; so rare the moments we feel pleased with it. We're led by media, who dictate "the perfect body" and the "perfect sizes", causing diseases such as anorexia, bulimia and depression. That's the reason I started this project - for everybody!"

Don't Give Up - Janet Shui Kee Yim, Hong Kong
"This photo was taken in the mountain region of Yunnan, China. The farmers had to work hard by going to and fro with the cow in the field. Because of the poor environment, the children could not afford to go to school. They also had to learn how to earn their living in the field when they were young."
Canon EOS 1D Mark III with Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens at 24mm; ISO 500; 1/200 sec at f/4.5

Hot Eroticism - Zoltan Madacsi, Hungary
"This photo was taken in the village where I live - Nagykovácsi, in Hungary. I took it just before the sunset. The background was a dark forest, which remained in shadow, and only the horses were illuminated. I used strong contrast during the development process to make the background completely black, as if the photo had been staged."
