In a year when our connection with nature has never felt more important, the annual Scottish Nature Photography Awards provided the judging panel, photographers Mhairi Law, Charlie Phillips and Niall Irvine, with a wealth of environmental, abstract, botanical, wildlife and landscape images to choose from.
Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year 2020 is Edinburgh based nature photographer Charles Everitt whose image, Taking Root, of Pink purslane rooted in the base of a tree won the Scottish Botanical category before being chosen by the judges as the overall winner. Charles, who has run his own photography business since 1998, finds much of the inspiration for his work in his local area and this image was no exception.
