Russian photographer Dmitry Kokh was named the winner in Urban Wildlife category.
The award is given for a haunting scene of polar bears shrouded in fog at the long-deserted settlement on Kolyuchin. As they explored the long-deserted settlement, Dmitry used a low-noise drone to capture the scene.
"On a yacht, seeking shelter from a storm, Dmitry spotted the polar bears roaming among the buildings of the long-deserted settlement on the small island of Kolyuchin. While the females and their cubs kept closer to the shore, the males padded among the discarded fuel barrels. As they explored every window and door, Dmitry used a low-noise drone to take a picture that conjures up a post-apocalyptic future," specified the UK Natural History museum on it's
website.
Dmitry is a wildlife and underwater photographer who tries to capture decisive moments in nature and to show wildlife contextually in its environment. He enjoys the process of creating memorable and beautiful pictures and hopes that they will inspire people in some way to care about and conserve the natural world. His approach is borne out of his enthusiasm and energy - full immersion, staying innovative and focusing on storytelling.
