The Isolation Wildlife Photography Awards have made confinement due to the coronavirus a little more bearable. His goal was to get everyone who wanted to explore the wildlife in front of his door, trying to capture the best photo or make the best possible short film, either at home or in the garden itself.
The idea was started by Jack Mortimer, a student immersed in a wildlife film masters at the University of Bristol. He contacted his friend Matt Gould and together they assembled two panels of judges and turned the contest into what it is today, the Isolation Wildlife Photography Awards.
It is true that the transition to working from home may have been felt more dramatically by those who generally work in the fields.
Spiders have been, unsurprisingly, a very popular subject in all photography entries submitted to the contest, but we also found small creatures and precious more familiar creations of nature in stunning images that showcase the beauty of the everyday.
"With the world currently locked in or severely restricted, it is important to stay busy and focused," said the organizers of the contest. "Wildlife has always had a reassuring impact and now more than ever, we should honor the animals around us that we normally do not pay attention to."
