1st Place in Photojournalism (Amateur)Fine Art Photography Awards
for “The dogs of De Doorns and their people” These photos were made whilst documenting the welfare group Sidewalk Specials' work in the area as they conducted a "sterilisation drive", endeavouring to spay, neuter, and treat as many of the local cats and dogs, as well as educating local children about animals' wellbeing with initiatives at schools.

I was afforded the opportunity to travel into the local farms and townships of De Doorns (The Thorns) and meet hundreds of locals and their animals. I was welcomed into their homes alongside Sidewalk Specials to photograph the relationships they have with their trusted pets.
