Winner, Honorable Mention, Travel Category, International Photography Awards

The 2025 International Photography Awards (IPA) saw 14,000 entries from 100 countries. I’m excited to share that I received three Honorable Mentions in the Travel Category of the 2025 International Photography Awards. The three images that earned this honor — Weathered Boat On Lake Hakone, Purple Cloudscape In Tuscany, and Today’s Laundry — each explore a different sense of place, capturing quiet details and fleeting moments that speak to the character of their environments. From the timeless beauty of Japan’s Lake Hakone to the shifting skies of Tuscany and the everyday poetry of laundry swaying in the breeze in Italy, these works reflect my ongoing interest in how travel and observation transform into visual storytelling. My images will be included in the 2025 IPA Annual Book of Photography. I’m grateful to have my work recognized alongside such inspiring photographers, and I look forward to sharing more images from these journeys soon.
