This series was entered into the highly competitive illustrative category, and I was thrilled to pick up a bronze award for it.

There was a unique opportunity to take these, and time was of the essence as she was leaving the next day for Australia to attend one of Sydney's ballet schools.

I was overjoyed to pick up a bronze award in each of the categories I entered this year. It was a result of months of hard work, dedication, and a deep passion for my craft. This brings my total bronze awards for 2025 to 4, a testament to my commitment and love for what I do

I absolutely loved this image taken in NZ. I decided to split it in two when I was editing it and saw a natural gap between the main series of birds and the second group of birds at the far right.

In editing it for the awards, I also decided to change the sky and add a texture I photographed.

It originally scored a Bronze, but got talked up to a Silver, which I was pleased about.

On one of our trips away from Dunedin, I stopped to photograph the trees that caught my eye while driving back to Dunedin.

I opted for a slightly different edit with these, and I enjoyed listening to the judges discuss it. In the end, it was one point off a Silver.

I entered 4 images in the landscape open awards, and all 4 picked up an award.

This image was taken late July 23, when I took the camera to one of the beaches near where we live, where I experimented with ICM photography and intentional camera movement.
