I am simply someone that documents my everyday with the help of the camera, in that sense maybe yes, I am a documentary photographer. But I certainly don’t like labels of any kind. What it is clear to me though, is that the camera helps me understand everything that happens around me and my place in it, and I do it mostly for myself, because it makes me happy, because I see extraordinary things and moments thanks to the camera.
Judges Choice Award - Life Pieces - Mekdi wanted to have a warm bath, it´s cold today. Irene gives her some company while we cook dinner. An everyday scene, a timeless portrait. Irene in front of the tablet while Mekdi reads an "old school" printed book. Maybe in 100 years time, what will be obsolete in this image will be the ipad and not the book?

Judges Choice Award - Life Pieces - It´s Sunday morning. Mekdi takes a shower and Irene looks through the window of her bedroom. It is sunny outside, we are planning to spend sometime on the beach. I grab my camera, they have been able to inspire me once again. (photo by Gloria Salgado Gispert, Australia)
Judges Choice Award - Life Pieces - The sun keeps going down and we are playing with our shadows. I can hear Irene's music and Mekdi's sweet voice while singing and dancing. (photo by Gloria Salgado Gispert, Australia)

Judges Choice Award - Life Pieces - I've read somewhere that the whole idea of race is a human invention. I agree. This is not a story of them being black and white, the truth is that I don't even see it most of the time. (photo by Gloria Salgado Gispert, Australia)
Judges Choice Award - Life Pieces - It is that time of the year when the girls start their rehearsals. I love it, it’s different, you get to go to new places. Here they are, getting ready. (photo by Gloria Salgado Gispert, Australia)
