honorable mention
Brunelle Eric germany
title
Behind the curtain
Venusonearth has been his project for twenty years. It consists of his website, his involvement in social media, and his participation in contests. Eric’s track record includes prints in magazines like PHOTO in France, VIEW in Germany, several books from the Trierenberg super circuit, and catalogues from contests. Recent awards include being the 3rd place winner at Monovisions 2023 and a Gold winner several times at the Muse Photography Awards. Many honorable mentions are among his other references. His participation in PSA-sponsored competitions has been rewarded with several gold medals. Back in 2012, his own exhibition took place at the Miskolci Fotógaleria in Miskolc, Hungary.
Eric has evolved from mainstream to artistic photography thanks to three artists. Back in the late 90s, he practiced high-quality photography with the professional German photographer Arboulan. In 2004, he started to learn from the Hungarian artist Szeni Jung at the so-called Sebesviz workshop, a camp he's attended more than ten times since. He is now being coached by Sandor Benkoe, also an Hungarian artist.
Today, Eric has worked with more than 100 amateur models and succeeded in getting international recognition. The best way to describe his passion is a quote from Richard Avedon he read in 2023 at an exhibition in Palermo, Sicily: “If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it’s as though I’ve neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up".

entry description
I chose this series for this contest because it illustrates a major component of my style that consists in capturing the essence of feminine beauty and grace in an indirect manner. For each picture, I asked the model to take poses between a translucent white curtain and a window, while trying not to touch it with certain parts of her body, allowing the viewer to see her silhouette and the curves of her body. I used soft natural light and later added some blur filters to create a dreamlike image and add some mystery in it.about the photographer
