Moody and Majestic: Mt Fuji
My first photography competition. The Mono Awards is one of Australia and New Zealand's most prestigious competitions dedicated to monochrome photography, attracting over 4,000 entries annually from talented photographers across the region. A "Highly Commended" recognition in the 2023 competition placed my work within the top 10-20% of submissions, selected for the 2nd shortlist by a panel of esteemed judges.
‘Night’s Journeys’
In 2024, I was honoured with two separate commendations in the prestigious Australasia’s Top Emerging Photographers Awards, Single Shot category for two images - ‘Night’s Journeys’ and ‘Urban Isolation’. Both recognized my street photography, capturing fleeting moments in challenging technical conditions. These images showcase my ability to blend instinctive timing with a strong artistic vision, creating compelling narratives within the chaos of urban life.
‘Urban Isolation’
On top the Australasia’s Top Emerging Photographers Awards commendation for ‘Urban Isolation’, this image was also accepted to be judged in the esteemed 2024 Photo Magic competition.
The Photo Magic competition is known for its rigorous selection process, and I am honored that my work was deemed worthy of judging. That year, only a select percentage of submissions were accepted, making this achievement even more significant. Additionally, the IAAP (International Association of Art Photographers) certification adds an extra layer of credibility and recognition to this accomplishment.
‘Urban Isolation’ captures the essence of solitude amidst the bustling city life, and I am proud to see it resonate with the judges. This acceptance not only validates my efforts but also motivates me to continue exploring and documenting the intricate narratives of urban environments.
This recognition follows my recent commendation for the same image in Australasia’s Top Emerging Photographers Awards, Single Shot category.
