Light Lover | Melbourne Photographer

Putting my work out there and submitting to competitions is something I put a lot of thought into and there are many that I choose not to submit to. I go through a process of doing some research and asking myself a lot of questions and I choose the competitions I submit to carefully. Why do I want to submit in the first place??? Is it just an ego boost or will winning an award do something for my work? Is this competition relevant to my work? β €

I'm a slightly obsessive light lover (or probably more accurately, massively obsessiveπŸ˜†). Light plays an incredibly important, and huge role in my work, so when I saw two calls related to light, I knew they were the perfect fit.

Within days of each other I heard that I will have an image in the @photoplacegallery Magic of Light Exhibition and an image printed in @photocereal Volume 2. Diminishing Light magazine. To have my work be included in both is something I never expected and beyond an honour!β €β €β €β €

Unfortunately I can't be there in person but if you're in Middlebury, VT you can check out the Magic of Light Exhibition from 3-26 March or view it online here.

Photo Cereal is available for pre-purchase, so if you'd like a copy full of diminishing light goodness, tap the link to order your copy here.β €

This light lover is feeling quite humbled and equally a bit proud.

Thank you to the organisers, the judges and a HUGE congratulations to the other photographers included!
