She has great influence over a wide variety of artists, beginning with the next generation of photographers.”
Sarah Leen comments :
“My hope for the Nikon Photo Contest is to gather stories that represent our world today. We are just getting used to a new way of life after three years of isolation and fear from the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, we have new opportunities and new chances. So think about your world, think about what you’ve seen change and grow, and that are now there as new opportunities. I’m really looking forward to seeing works that come from all over the world. We have an opportunity with this contest to show where we are today and tell our stories, share your personal stories.”
