Magical Childhood Photography Awards - June 2021
Photo of June 2021 and first place belongs to:
Beatriz Ostos Charro
My name is Beatriz, I am from Madrid and a mother of three, two twins girls which are 23 years old, and a boy whose 18.
I studied History, I always loved all kinds of art, when I started photography was analogic, I had a Minolta with a 50mm and used to photograph architecture, I was not interested in portraits until I had my daughters, I didn’t want to loose any thing and I could not stop photographing them while they grew up, I wanted to keep those moments that they are not going to remember when they are old unless I give them; pictures are memories that we can keep forever.
When digital photography started I bought I small camera, but I had no idea of how to download the files, my husband had to do it for me, I thought it was very difficult and for a long time I only used the little camera in automatic mode.
When I decided to learn digital photography my children where big enough for me to have more time for myself after working, since then i am constantly learning; I think I am taking the pictures that I would have loved to do with my own children, I like their world of imagination, happiness and innocence.
Due to instagram, Facebook and other platforms in internet I found an incredible world of artists who inspire me, I feel I have much more to learn and every day I try to do it better; groups like this are a good chance to improve and to know others people work.
Alberto is a restless loving boy of 5 years old, I knew him last September during a shooting I did with his sister and him, I think he is a perfect model for my pictures, I don’t need to tell him what to do,I let him being his self while I shoot.
Thanks Marta for this opportunity, for me it is an honor to be best picture among the amazing work in this month.

Third Place:
Monica Hańczyc
Hi, I'm Monica,
I come from Poland but I live in the United Kingdom.
My photography journey started when I was 17 (2007), but it really begins to be my hobby and work in 2010 when I first bought a DSLR camera. Since then I went through all of the types of photography but still, my favorite is to photograph people. I love to see emotions in pictures, the magic of children playing outdoors, the love showing on couples photoshoots, all that is very fleeting and important at the same time. Using photoshop for children's photos, allow me to add a little bit of magic to each picture. Always when I can take pictures of my clients I'm feeling very honored that they choose me.
