Once again, we present the winning photographs of the La Pedriza Mountain Photography Contest \u2014 a competition that, thanks to everyone\u2019s effort and the support of the municipalities involved in the La Pedriza Festival, has become a key event in the mountain photography scene.<\/p>\r\n

In this edition, we have reached a total of 1,600 photographs submitted by enthusiastic photographers who continue to enrich and give value to this photographic exhibition.<\/p>\r\n

The jury had a difficult task selecting the winners. Many initially shortlisted photos were finally discarded for not fully reflecting the spirit of authenticity that defines this contest. The jury had to assess whether those spectacular images remained within the acceptable limits of editing, or whether they were more the work of an editor than that of a photographer.<\/p>\r\n

We seek authenticity \u2014 it couldn\u2019t be otherwise, living at the foot of La Pedriza del Manzanares, a unique place where nature sets its own rules and anything artificial fades into the background. We hope this message comes through in the selected photographs.<\/p>\r\n

Enjoy the exhibition and venture along the trails that lead to the heart of our beloved Pedriza.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

From December 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Between 2005 and 2008, I had the good fortune to embark, together with my partner, on a three-year van journey that took us from Spain to Southeast Asia. That period coincided with my first work as a photographer and documentarian for the Ministry of Education and Science, contributing to the creation of its image bank as an educational resource for schools.<\/p>\r\n

During that time, I was taking photographs almost daily, learning in a self-taught way, and for part of the journey accompanied by a professional photographer who shared his knowledge with me and advised me on the equipment I should get to start properly.<\/p>\r\n

\"Pura Vida\"<\/em> is a carefully selected series of 10 images chosen from among thousands taken during that stage. Borrowing its title from the beautiful and inspiring documentary about the rescue attempt of mountaineer I\u00f1aki Ochoa de Olza, it seeks to outline the vast and fascinating universe that Asia represents for Westerners \u2014 a continent that is the cradle of history, immense, full of color, and bursting with life.<\/p>\r\n

That journey marked the beginning of my current path \u2014 dedicating myself to this challenging and uncertain profession in which every assignment feels like the first one. It has allowed me to discover extraordinary places, stories, and people, and it\u2019s a craft to which I am one hundred percent devoted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

From April 13, 2023 to November 30, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

This exhibition of award-winning photos from the 3rd La Pedriza Mountain Photography Contest is the result of the work of enthusiastic photographers capable of capturing the essence of nature and the mountains with a single click. What might seem simple \u2014 or at times casual \u2014 actually involves years of training, experimentation, and effort to distinguish between the essential and the trivial, the sublime and the ordinary, the spectacular and the insignificant. The magic of photography lies in this long journey that allows us, the spectators, to be transported to unbelievable places, fascinating moments, and even become, for an instant, protagonists of skiing, running, and climbing adventures in the heart of nature.<\/p>\r\n

This new edition brings together international photographers alongside outstanding photographers from the Sierra de Guadarrama. Our aim has been to position the villages that lie at the foot of this mountain range as true ambassadors of the Mountain \u2014 to highlight their role as gateways to the National Park and to reaffirm La Pedriza de Manzanares as the natural monument it truly is.<\/p>\r\n

Thanks to everyone\u2019s collaboration, we have made it to this third edition, and we hope this adventure continues for many more years to come.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

From January 14, 2023 to April 12, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The craft of seeing has its artists of the instant \u2014 geniuses who flirt with light, frame through imagination, and skillfully portray the divine within the human. They immortalize the fleeting in a brilliant heartbeat. Creators who understand photography as a means or an excuse to share feelings and emotions. Artisans of the image who chisel postcards that travel from enchantment to synesthesia, awakening awareness and smiles.<\/p>\r\n

Between photojournalism and creative process, between technique and mysticism, Santi Burgos rescues moments from the turbine of time to crystallize them \u2014 to convey the experience of the unrepeatable, in prose and in verse, in color or in black and white. With life itself as a photographic studio and its people as an endless parade of images. Crossing mirrors to broaden perspectives, cropping realities to highlight solemn scenes or everyday events. To honor the ordinary and put the ceremonial into perspective.<\/p>\r\n

From Madrid to New York: innocence breaking through police lines or splashing in the mud; buses moving to the rhythm of an accordion; politicians losing their step; anonymous superheroes; wedding kisses reflected in guests\u2019 faces\u2026 Gestures, portraits, landscapes, moments \u2014 eternal flashes of transience. Joys, sorrows, light, shadows, introspection, fleeting existences.<\/p>\r\n

Images from recent and emotional times. Analog, digital... timeless. Tangible essences, abstract certainties. Pause for a moment. To look. To feel.<\/p>\r\n
