AWARD WINNING PHOTOGRAPHY

Entering annual awards is something that I find very interesting, because it allows me to seek additional creative and challenging outlets for my photography and work. It provides a platform that enables me to push the boundaries now and again. I often find myself thinking of fascinating ideas and enjoy the process of bringing them to life in imagery. These images are a mix of Gold, Silver (including Distinctions) and Bronze awards, from both my client and personal work
