Travel Photographer Of The Year – I by Marsel van Oosten

I am very excited to share with you that I won the overall title Travel Photographer Of The Year 2015. The jury selected two of my portfolio’s – one landscape/travel portfolio, and one wildlife portfolio. This makes it even more special for me, because I’m always trying to do both genres equally well, which is why I call myself a nature photographer and not a landscape or a wildlife photographer. Over the next few days I will post all the winning images here, but if you don’t have the patience for that, you can also check out the entire story behind the images on my blog: ow.ly/3yzTBj I will start with the images from the winning landscape series. They were all shot last year in the swamps of Louisiana and Texas on a scouting trip for the world’s first Cypress Swamp photo tour – more info on that somewhere next week. All shots were taken on a misty morning just after sunrise, either from a kayak or standing in the cold water. It’s one of the most magical places on this planet. Special thanks to Daniella for her help setting up these shots. – – – If you would like to join us on one of our photo tours, please have a look on our website.
