There has never been a more important time to champion outdoor photographers. With so many issues facing endangered species and threatened landscapes and habitats, it is essential that outdoor photographers are encouraged to show the true majesty of what we are in danger of losing. Great photographs still have the power to influence opinion and thought, at the highest levels of authority.
Outdoor Photography magazine has led the way in featuring the work of the best nature and landscape photographers since its launch in 2000. The Outdoor Photographer of the Year Competition will look to honour those photographers who go beyond the normal limits to create powerful, compelling outdoor images.
This competition reflects Canon’s corporate philosophy of Kyosei which lies at the heart of our brand. It means “living and working together for the common good” and we apply this ethos to everything we do. ‘Canon are delighted to be sponsoring the Wildlife category in the competition’ said Guido Jacobs, Consumer Marketing Director, Canon UK & Ireland, ‘we look forward to seeing stunning images of the natural world we live in’.
It doesn’t matter whether you live in a city high-rise or on the edge of a wilderness, a great wildlife or landscape image has the power to reconnect you with the very deepest innate memories we have. Steve Watkins, Editor of Outdoor Photography Magazine said, ‘We are proud to have Canon as the wildlife category sponsor; they are at the forefront of creating exceptional camera gear that allows outdoor photographers to turn their vision into reality.’
