IRIS Photography Awards 2026 Finalist, Nature Category

Today I am wrapping up my workshop here in northern Finland for Wolves and Bears and will be making my way back to Sweden later today. I will have a full trip report in the coming weeks, once I have had a chance to process some photographs, but it has been a phenomenal experience here in Finland with our group. Yesterday we had one of the very best wolf encounters I have experienced in more than a decade of photography in Finland.

In competition news, late last night, I received the exciting news that I am a finalist to win the Nature category of the 2026 IRIS Photography Awards. This is my first time entering the awards, and I am feeling humbled and thrilled to have had my prints score so highly and to make the finals. The category winners will be announced at the Gala dinner in New Zealand tomorrow.
