Congratulations to Prelena Soma Owen for The Power of Three

"Photography is not about capturing what you see - it's about capturing how you feel." I try to capture the beauty and the plight of threatened and endangered species in the hope it will have an impact on the viewer.

Congratulations to Brian Kamprath for Vast

I started traveling with my wife after college, and along with that, quickly developed a deep passion for observing and photographing wildlife. 16 years later and I have traveled to all 7 continents and both Polar Regions, always looking for opportunities to photograph wildlife in its native habitat. While I enjoy viewing and photographing all wildlife, primates have always held a special place in my heart. Perhaps it’s their close relation to us genetically, but watching them interact is always a highlight for me. I just hope that my photography can in some way help show those that can’t experience it first hand, just how amazing and important these creatures are to all of us and our planet.
