Overall Winner: “A Look to the Future” by Charlie Page
The British Wildlife Photography Awards 2023 announced its 25 winning photos, with Charlie Page taking the overall first place for his work called “A Look to the Future”.
The photograph depicts a red fox walking through a woodland that was cut down to make space for an industrial site. Commenting on his work, Page expressed his desire to capture the image with the industrial backdrop to convey the damage caused to the fox’s natural habitat.
He hopes that photographers won’t face similar circumstances in the future, and that we all strive towards wildlife protection. Will Nicholls, Director of BWPA, applauded the talented photographers and noted that their showcased work highlights the importance of preserving Britain’s wildlife and natural spaces.
