"As Henri Cartier-Bresson said: « Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. » So street photographers, let us admire those fleeting moments that only you can see." - Adam Markowski, initiator and curator of the Fujifilm Moment Street Photo Awards 2020
"Street photography is a certain concept where technique is more important than the photographed place. Street Photo can be treated as an exercise of creativity to record the world around us without interfering with it. In the long run, it results in a fascinating documentary of the times we lived in.” - Tymon Markowski, Jury Member of the Fujifilm Moment Street Photo Awards 2020
"I love to feel life as you do it in street photography. I enjoy to capture the beauty of everyday moments, to discover magic in ordinary days - every shot you take as a street photographer is ephemeral and unique. Some moments are telling you stories that unveil their deeper meaning only later. To me, street photography is a confession of love to life. It is a spiritual experience of a deeper connection with the world surrounding me. I go out into the world, open my heart and eyes and see what happens next." - Elena Alexandra, Jury Member of the Fujifilm Moment Street Photo Awards 2020
