Aussie photographer wins top prize at Landscape Photographer competition
Aussie photographer, Luke Austin, managed to swipe the top prize in this year’s Landscape Photographer of the Year competition, receiving $5000 dollars.
Austin, raised in Perth, has been following his passion of landscape photography from a young age.
“I am drawn particularly to wilderness photography and tend to use up all of my annual leave each year on trips hiking through Tasmania, my favourite place to photograph,” Austin said.
“I enjoy the solitude of being in the landscape, surrounded by nothing but the natural environment. I find being out there with a camera in hand allows me to slow down and appreciate the finer details of the world.”
Taking a look at his photos, it’s no wonder he managed to snag the top spot.
