Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year has just been announced and the winner is Spanish-born photographer Daniel Beltrá.
Daniel took home two awards, as Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Wildlife Photojournalist of the year, both in recognition of his documentation of the Gulf Oil Spill.
‘Still Life in Oil’
When the Gulf of Mexico oil spill happened I felt so moved to try and help the charity heading the clean up ‘International bird rescue research centre’ (IBRRC) that I created a limited edition screen print from an original paper cut I had produced.
I donated 25% of the profits of each print sold to IBRRC.
Sadly however, not many people wanted to support my campaign and I still have quite a few prints left.
After seeing Daniel Beltrá’s photo it has re-sparked my enthusiasm for helping all wildlife affected by man made and natural disasters.
So I’m sending out my last plea for people to reach into their pockets to buy one of my prints so I can donate some much needed cash to the charity that rescued so many birds that would have otherwise died in this tragic disaster.
IBRRC continue to work tirelessly to help all wildlife in need.
My print is just £40 and would restore my heart in knowing there are still good, kind people out there, who want to help make a difference.
