A glimmer of light in the darkness

The magic of photography lies in the fact that it offers us the possibility to see the world with new eyes. It can help us to free our thoughts from gloomy reality for a brief moment, and provoke us to allow free rein to our creativity, if we just give ourselves the chance. Accordingly, we can become the narrator of our own story: be it a snapshot capturing a heart-warming, mundane situation; an artistic arrangement; or a scenario that stimulates the imagination... Photos represent a great way of acknowledging, capturing and sharing our own version of beauty.

It is amazing how many photos in the LFI.Gallery bring a smile to the lips of the editorial team, allowing us to forget the dark winter moments. We would like to share a cross-section of those images with you. The selection we have made reveals not only the beauty that surrounds us, but also reminds us that, despite the cold and darkness, there is room in our hearts for joy, warmth and creativity – and that photography is a perfect weapon for battling those winter blues!
