Photography Awards 2020/21

During Covid-19 lockdown I had the time to put in to some of the photography awards. With some successes, which was a good pick me up during those extraordinary times.

The image of the Crabeater Seals Napping in the ice in Antarctica was shortlisted for Earth Photo Award for the category Climate of Change. The image is now on display at the Royal Geographical Society, London.

This image was also selected the winner of the Wild World Winter photography competition, and was Highly Commended in the Shackleton Leica Capture the Extreme 2021

My Adelie penguin and Harry, who was dressed in early 20th century explorer’s clothing, in Antarctica 2019 won first prize in the Shackleton Leica ‘Capture the Extreme’ 2021 competition.

JUDGES’ COMMENTS // “This photo captures an incredibly intimate and calm moment in an otherwise pretty hostile environment. There’s a real accessibility to it, as if there is an understanding between the two of them, captured in a glance, in a fleeting moment. It also captures an essence of the Golden Age of Exploration – one can’t help but think that Frank Hurley himself would love this image.”
