New Isolation Wildlife Photography Awards
July 17, 2020Isolation Wildlife Photography Awards 2020
The Isolation Wildlife Photography Awards, is without doubt a world first in photography. The aim was to showcase wildlife photos and videos created during the global lockdown, and show what can be achieved when faced with such unusual circumstances.
The winners have now been announced and theres some absolutely cracking entries. The competition aimed to encourage keen photographers to engage with wildlife “on their doorstep,” such as in a back garden or even within the home.
Jack Mortimer, who is studying at the University of the West of England, created the IWPA and said it was “literally born out of curiosity and boredom”. Over 2000 entries were submitted and sifted through by the judging panel.
“With the world currently either in lockdown or severely restricted, it’s important to stay occupied and focused. Wildlife has always had a calming impact, and so now more than ever we should be celebrating the animals around us that we are normally too busy to appreciate,” said judge and wildlife photographer Richard Peters. “It has hopefully given photographers the extra motivational push needed to really think outside the box and get creative.”
The overall winner of the competition is Luca Eberle with his image Basement Predators.
