I first came across Max Waugh’s work during the 2019 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Gala Dinner. As the black & white category has subsequently been dropped from the competition, this image could arguably be called the reigning champion. Monochrome images can instead be entered into any of the categories.
Keen to know about how this almost-abstract came to be, I asked Max Waugh more about the photograph, and was surprised to learn that – at first at least – he didn’t really like it.
