National Geographic Traveller UK: Photography Competition 2024
June 6, 2024
Almost two years ago, I left Cornerstone OnDemand to focus on my passion: travel and photography. I planned a three-month trip across Southeast Asia, exploring Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, capturing images every day. Last week, I received wonderful news: I am one of the winners of the National Geographic Traveller UK Photography Competition 2024. My photo of a young worker in Cambodia (above) was selected in the Food & Travel category.
The judges said: “The light streaming through the windows creates a beautiful chiaroscuro, illuminating the scene. This man delicately peels the tofu, crafting soy strings. The moody, high-contrast lighting makes this photo truly shine.”
Being published in the July/August issue of the National Geographic Traveller magazine is a dream come true and a huge honour. I thank the National Geographic Traveller team for this recognition.
Photography is highly competitive, and standing out is tough. Shooting every day helps you master your camera, think differently, and choose unique angles. It sharpens your observation skills. Travelling and meeting people worldwide broadens your perspective.
Follow your dreams, believe in yourself, and do what you love every day.
