Bookshelf Unforgettable Underwater Photography
‘Tentacle Tornado' by Geo Cloete
Even for people not necessarily enamoured with wildlife photography (or even animals generally), the annual Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPOTY) competition is difficult to ignore. With such a diverse and global reach, there is something for everyone, whether it's in the subjects, the incredible technical proficiency or the message the photographer is looking to communicate.
Last year'sshowed in unflinching detail a slain rhino and was taken as part of an undercover investigation into the illegal trade in rhino horn. It stands as perhaps the most hard-hitting, emotional and important winner of the WPOTY competition in recent years and is a good demonstration of why photo competitions like WPOTY are so vital (Brent was also awarded AP's Power of Photography Award this year).
