Union Of Lights World Photography Contest is founded to celebrate photography, its history and most of all, its art form – the subtle balance between aesthetics and purpose, aesthetics – the desire to attain ultimate beauty in reality through the use of a camera – and purpose – the natural dependency and need to express what is inherent.
Union of Lights’ goal is to recognize and celebrate the world’s best photographs.
