Finn O’Hara submitted his photograph, titled ‘Mikaël Kingsbury, Olympic Freestyle Skier’, to the prestigious International Photography Awards, an annual competition that attracts entries from top professionals, amateurs and students worldwide. 

His skiing photograph was originally a commission from a client, however, Finn saw its potential and decided to follow his instincts. “I took it another step further by creating an image that I couldn’t take during the pandemic. I had imagined what it would be like if we had a skier flying through a cloud of coloured smoke, and how incredible that would look,” says Finn.
