As a photographer, I often feel like I need to travel to a beautiful location in order to take epic pictures – but a photograph by Beth Mancuso, the first ever Sony Alpha Female+ Creator of the Year, reminds me that beautiful images can happen literally in our own backyards.
Every week, the Alpha Female+ group awards a micro-grant to a photographer. But this year Sony also asked photographers to vote for their favorite image of the micro-grant winners from the past year, selecting Mancuso as the Creator of the Year for her image of a tiny treefrog nestled into the petals of a dahlia.
