Iness Rychlik is the 2nd prize INPRNT Photography Award 2023 winner, she is a Polish-born artist, based in the UK. Despite her severe myopia, Iness has been dedicated to visual storytelling since her early teens. Iness Rychlik is recognized for her dark surreal self-portraits; exploring themes of pain, solitude and vulnerability. Since she suffers from a chronic skin condition, Iness uses her own body as a canvas for artistic expression. She draws on her deeply personal experiences, often reflecting on growing up in a conservative and patriarchal society.
Anna Karvounari is a Greek born photographer, based in Athens. She creates conceptual self-portraits and she uses the solitary female figure in her images, trying to touch on some affairs of female nature, but also to give voice on some personal feelings.

Michaela Ďurišová is the 3rd prize winner INPRNT Photography Award 2023 winner, is a fine art photographer, and a designer of floral accessories and decorations.
