At the tender age of just seven, with a small handheld camera, Skye started capturing breathtaking images. He didn't know that his passion would lead him to winning the Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2018.
Skye was awarded for his image 'Lounging Leopard Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2018' grand title winner. He won his 15 to 17 years of age category which led him to win the Youth Title at the gala dinner held at the Natural History Museum earlier this month.
Prior to this year's achievement, Skye won a number of competitions such as the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2014. He was awarded as a finalist in the top 100 images in the world for his photo of the 'Vanishing Lion', which exhibited at the Natural History Museum in London and thereafter around the world.

Apart from his photography skills, he is fully active in school activities and mainly enjoys water polo and tennis.
However, for this young lad, it means more to him than just winning. To him, photography is not just about the competitions entered but also the platform it affords him to create awareness about our natural world and conserving it in the long term.
Well done, Skye! Your passion for a good cause inspires us all.
