Law firm Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații supports the annual World Press Photo Exhibition in Romania
The exhibition is being organized in Romania for the first time since 1995, at the initiative of EIDOS Cultural Foundation. The EIDOS organization was founded by the Romanian documentary photographer Cristian Movilă, best known to the public for his reportage and human interest stories for top international magazines such as Newsweek, The New York Times and National Geographic.
“The exhibition reveals an entire world helping us all to better understand the realities and complexities around us by further opening our minds and hearts. It is that kind of knowledge that will most likely change each of us from the inside. The exhibition reflects the highest international standards in photojournalism and documentary photography,” said Cristian Movilă, founder of the EIDOS Cultural Foundation.
“It is a great honor for us to support the World Press Photo Exhibition on its return to Romania after 17 years. It is a unique celebration of the best in photojournalism worldwide, including Samuel Aranda’s winning picture at this year’s World Press Photo Contest,” added Sorin Vlădescu, Partner at Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații.
