The Winning Photos of Nat Geo’s Travel Photographer of the Year 2018 https://ift.tt/2N5DLGF National Geographic has announced the winning photos of its popular Travel Photographer of the Year 2018 photo contest. The grand prize was awarded to Japanese photographer Reiko Takahashi, who captured an underwater photo of a humpback whale calf’s tail. The winning photo, titled “Mermaid,” was selected from over 13,000 entries received this year. Here’s the description provided by the photographer:
Takahashi is a long-time photographer who left her office job to pursue underwater photography, and she traveled to Japan’s Kumejima Island specifically to capture photos of humpback whales with their young calves. “It was a special scene for me, to be able to take a photo of the calf, completely relaxed in gentle waters,” Takahashi tells Nat Geo. “I really cannot believe it. It was my dream to win. I am honored and it will be the driving force for my future shooting.” As part of her win, Takahashi receives a $10,000 award.
