The inaugural winners of the LCE Photographer of the Year were announced today at The Photography & Video Show - with a stunning image of a bat caught in mid-flight at night winning the overall prize for Marilyn Taylor. She wins £5,000 of vouchers to spend at leading UK photo retailer London Camera Exchange.
Shot with an OM System OM-1, the stunning image was taken in at a remote location in northern Costa Rica in December 2022. "It was dark, so it was very difficult to see these tiny bats flying like ghosts", explains Marliyn.
