International Garden Photographer Of The Year
“Wrinkled Peach Close-Up” 3rd place in ‘The World Of Fungi’ category
I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to the 18th International Garden Photographer Of The Year (IGPOTY) reception at the Marianne North Gallery in Kew Gardens.
Last year I had a photograph selected as one of the finalists in ‘The World Of Fungi’ category. This Year I was delighted to discover that my Wrinkle Peach Close-Up image received 3rd place in this category.
My photo features in the outdoor exhibition, alongside all the other awarded images across all categories, at Kew which runs from February 15th - March 16th 2025.
The exhibition will then be touring and this is the current list of locations -
Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Cambridge - March 21st - May 7th 2025
National Trust Belton Estate, Lincolnshire - March 28th - May 26th 2025

The gallery itself was a pretty incredible site to host the presentation, with 832 paintings by the Victorian artist Marianne North, covering every inch of wallspace.
