How does it feel to win Amateur Photographer of the Year 2017?
It’s an almost surreal experience. I started to get my hopes up a bit after performing well in some of the rounds, but I didn’t like to assume anything! I’m really happy and very proud – it’s wonderful feedback for my work.
When did you take up photography, and why?
Like many others I became interested in photography after buying a camera to record my travels – this was back in 2006. In the years that followed I was annoyed because some of the images I took didn’t turn out as I had planned. As a result I decided to learn about photography and make some progress.
