From 4 July to 15 septembre 2019, Orange and Wipplay invite you to participate in our contest HUMAN PLANET. Europe is a territory very well connected, expanded, linked together by high- performance networks that bring together this cosmopolitan ensemble. Recently, the climate marches by the youth in Paris, Brussels and Madrid also showed a motivated Europe moving together with common agendas.
For this photo contest, participants must show European citizens engaged in crucial challenges (social as well as environmental), but also demonstrate how a responsible use of technology can aide limiting human impact on the earth while creating new models that are more respectful of the environment. Your photos must show these challenges and unveil a responsible practice of technology, benefiting not only as large a number of people as possible, but also our planet.
For inspiration, take a look at the photographic works of our jury members : Charles Delcourt, Julien Mauve et Kevin Faingnaert.

« The world as a smiling and benign traveller » by Charles Delcourt
***
Charles Delcourt studied to be a landscape architect. One finds in his photographs a sharp sense of composition, a precision in the mise-en-scène of people and things. Charles works in colour to connect his photographs and subjects. And he does not avoid discrepancies – plays with our well-reasoned convictions, disconcerts us with the veiled references in his photographic works.

The cinematographic ambiances of Julien Mauve
***
Julien Mauve is a photographer residing in Paris. His photographic work is composed of series with a cinematographic ambience which presents his vision of the world and interrogates the place of humans in the space. He questions our future, the threats that hang over our society, the meaning that we give to our existence and our rapport with science and technology.

The social documentary of Kevin Faingnaert
***
Born in 1986, Kevin Faingnaert lives and works in Gent, Belgium. After a degree in sociology, he decided to dedicate himself to photography and considers it be a form of social documentary that concentrates on living communities on the margins of the society. He loves to travel to different places and shoot interesting people. Kevin is also focused on small and isolated communities. To feel different cultures and feel how people live, he observes and participates in community life.
