Describing the winning work, Antony Trivet says: “The portrait of Isaya Evans a Kenyan actor, casting director, and entertainer was taken at Kinale forest away from the capital city of Kenya, Nairobi. My main aim was to incorporate the fog in the picture to activate the feeling when you are lonely and no one can help.”
The photographer continues: “This is incredible. Thank you for the nominations this year. I am pleased, honored, and humbled to accept this award and to join past recipients who I have long admired and respected. This will be enough signature to show upcoming photographers that anything is possible if they believe in themselves. I would like to thank all the talented and gifted photographers who have taught me so much over the years. God Bless.” He added.
Trivet is particularly interested in capturing weddings, portraits, and fashion. His work has been featured in the Photography Association of Kenya (PAK). He was the winner of the Canon Selphy Street Photography Competition 2016, a top finalist in the Nikon Kenya Photo Summit, and recognized as one of the Top 40 Best Kenyan Photographers by CRBC.
