I am proud to share that my photo, “Catch of the Day,” has been awarded 2nd Place in the Artist Gallery Awards.
This year’s awards brought together photographers from across the globe, each capturing unique perspectives on culture, place, and the human spirit. To have my work recognized among so many talented voices is an honor.
Fishermen catch fish with bamboo-made traps in knee-deep water as they take part in a century-old traditional fishing festival during a foggy winter morning. The festival usually takes place in late winter as the water of the lowland area begins to dry up and the farmlands aren’t prepared yet to harvest new crops in the riverine regions of the country. Known for its cultural significance, the event draws visitors from far and wide. It offers a unique opportunity to witness age-old traditions passed down through generations as fishermen showcase their skills amidst breathtaking natural beauty.
A huge thank you to the Artist Gallery Awards and the jury for this recognition. Moments like this remind me why I continue to carry my camera: to share stories of resilience, heritage, and humanity that transcend borders.
