Natural Landscape Photography Awards 2021
We’re excited to announce the results of the 2021 Natural Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards!
|
Photographer of the Year, Winner: Eric Bennett. As a photographer who strives to show people the value of wilderness, I have always enjoyed seeing and creating more subtle and personal photographs that portray nature in a realistic manner. As these kinds of images tend to have a quieter impact, they often end up being largely ignored in most photography competitions. This is why I have not entered many competitions in the past, since I felt my artwork would be judged based on factors that I do not value myself.

My loss is your gain! I recently took down 15 pieces of my landscape series, Language of the Land, from a show that was not open to the public because of COVID. In light of that I would like to offer the framed pieces at a substantial discount for readers of my publications.
|
This offer is only valid for regional (to Albuquerque) purchasers. All the framed pieces have glass fronts and lately there have been too many instances of broken glass in shipments.
|
All pieces are priced at $150 (card) or $125 (cash-preferred). Local pick-up only.
|
All images are on my personal site, here. Sizes average out to about 18x22-inches, framed. Images are all around 9.5x12-inches.
|
All sales are final and there is only one of each piece.
|
|
Email me if you are seriously interested. I will be in California November 30-December 8. Great discounts for quantity purchases.
