A teen from Pewsey has actually scooped an RSPCA Young Professional photographer award for his close-up shot of a pelican’s head.
The photo, entitled Meet Costs was taken by 14-year-old Joshua Kneale on a boat journey throughout a household vacation to Namibia.
It won him initially reward in the 12 to 15’s classification in the RSPCA’s Young Professional photographer awards 2022 at the Tower of London, his very first classification win.
He stated: “It was simply a fantastic experience. The pelicans would fly onto the roofing of the boat so it was the ideal chance.
” I attempt to display the animal in a single image and pelicans are not a regular looking animal, so I wished to display their quirk.
” I was truly chuffed to win due to the fact that it’s a great award and the competitors is constantly loaded with skill.”.
Joshua has actually been photographing nature given that he was 8, after his interest was surged by his older sibling Jake, and he took his very first photos with his uncle’s old video camera.
The wildlife and landscapes of Wiltshire have actually motivated him to concentrate on nature photography.
He included: “I generally photo wildlife and nature due to the fact that we’re so lucky to have the area that we do.
” I delight in being out in nature and it influences me to take photos of the landscape and the wildlife.”.
