Awards and Recognitions

A lot goes into determining winners of photography competitions, much of it subjective in nature. Despite their shortcomings, contests present a great opportunity to find out whether images resonate with an audience that has absolutely no personal attachment to them, taking away one of the greatest obstacles in viewing one's work objectively. 

I started consistently submitting images to photography competitions only very recently. Here is a running list of recognitions for my work so far.

Top 100, Audubon Photo Awards, The Audubon Society, 2024

Top 100, WildArt Photographer of the Year, Naturescapes, 2023
