I entered the NZIPP Iris Awards for the first time this year, and am stoked because three of my images were awarded in the nature category! I’m pretty chuffed because these are my first awards for my wildlife photography and this has given me a boost of motivation to keep pursuing these wonderful moments in nature.
Watching the live judging and getting to hear feedback from the judges was a cool experience and will be helpful when I select my images for next year’s competition.
Awarded Silver: A southern royal albatross flies directly above a Salvin’s albatross in the Cook Strait.
Awarded Bronze: A Salvin’s albatross stares down the camera as other albatrosses soar in the background
Awarded Bronze: A tūī takes a bath in soft lighting with water flying everywhere
