About
Surrealism in photography is a play with reality, where dreams, fantasies, and inner experiences become visual images. It doesn’t depict the world as it is, but invites us to see it differently—strangely, unexpectedly, symbolically. Here, dreams can blend with reality, ordinary objects behave illogically, and the impossible appears self-evident.
In this category, what matters most is the strength of the idea, emotional impact, and visual expressiveness. Technical quality takes a back seat to concept: it’s not about how the image was captured, but what you want to convey. Photo manipulation is allowed and encouraged—adding or removing objects, replacing backgrounds, incorporating graphic elements. The key is that the final image feels cohesive, meaningful, and evokes in the viewer a sense of an unfamiliar yet believable world—rather than merely showcasing editing skills.
