Runner-up, landscapes: The red elephant – Luis Manuel Vilariño Lopez (Spain). “May 2018 marked the beginning of the largest eruption of Kilauea volcano (Hawaii) for 200 years. The stream of lava covered a huge area, eventually reaching the ocean. I set myself the task of capturing the power and drama of these creational processes in photographs. The everchanging coast was the scene of a fierce battle between the ocean fighting for its lost space and the volcano. Clouds of acidic vapour rose above this clashing of the elements fed by giant waves the Pacific hurled up against the lava”.
