Martyn says “I am so, so happy to wake up to this today! I haven’t entered any awards for almost two years due to concentrating on opening a new Studio and getting married, what a year 2024 is turning out to be!

I entered 10 images right on the deadline, having selected a random submission upon being invited to enter, so to get these awards is very special”
