The jury of the Siena International Photography Awards, which was held for the third time this year, announced the names of the winners. In 2017, more than 50 thousand applications from amateur and professional photographers from 130 countries were sent to the competition.

The contest is divided into several thematic categories, one of them is "Charming faces and characters". It examines pictures of people who are busy with daily chores or relaxing, posing indoors or caught off guard on the street. They are all curious characters with their own history, culture and mood.

This collection presents the best works in the category "Charming faces and characters", who won or received incentive awards in 2017.

All the best works of the Siena International Photography Awards can be found on the website of the competition.
