Honorable Mention
Backyard Hooper Dreams
DESCRIPTION
Captured in the golden glow of a late afternoon, this dynamic shot features a young boy soaring through the air as he dunks on a backyard basketball hoop. The suburban normality of the backyard setting contrast beautifully with the boy's vibrant energy, making this moment a perfect encapsulation of childhood exuberance and the boundless potential that comes with it.
AUTHOR
I am a 38-year-old photographic artist, business owner and mother of two, residing in the Western Suburbs of Adelaide. I first picked up a digital camera 5 years ago and thus began my journey and love of capturing beauty within the ordinary. I am completely self taught.Over my 5 year photographic journey, I have received warm feedback from judges of various competitions. In 2023 I was humbled to be the winner of the Heritage Bank Photographic Competition (Theme Category). I was also awarded the overall winner of The Advertiser Summer Photo Competition, and Runner-Up in both Australasia's Top Emerging Photographers Competition (Documentary Category) and the City Of West Torrens Art Prize. I am currently exhibiting a small amount of work for the City Of West Torrens in their "Little Galleries" Exhibition which runs from February 2024 - April 2024.
