Some excellent news, my photo "Passing Through" has won the NATURE category in the 2017 British Columbia Magazine Photo Contest. I was super excited to receive this news, winning the category, especially the nature category, was a big surprise and feels very good! So a big thanks to the jurors of the contest and to BC Magazine for running an awesome photo contest yet again. Peace, Shane.
Such great news to wake up to, being selected as a finalist in one of the biggest photo comps in the world - AMAZING. Even better, to know that a photo of mine can sit among these other amazing photos from some of the best photographers across the globe - and this years' entries are nothing short of amazing. To even be selected to sit among these other photos/photographers is crazy but really it tells me I am on the right track as a photographer and inspires me to keep shooting. My photo, "River Runs Through It", can be seen in the Week 4 - Aerials category CLICK HERE TO SEE THE LINK ON NAT GEO WEBSITE Peace, Shane.
The IPA's are among the most prestigious awards a photographer can receive, with winning photos selected by a jury of amazing photographers from around the world - people I really look up to. For the third year in a row now I have received an IPA, a streak I am both blown away by and very proud of. This year, my photo "Fast Food" was awarded an Honorable Mention award of distinction in the Professional Nature - Wildlife category. Even cooler is the fact that there were 14,900 individual photos entered from over 165 countries around the world! Peace, Shane.
