I’m proud to announce our seventh finalist. Chitra Aiyer lives in Bangalore, India. Within seconds of looking at her nature, portraits, travel work I knew she was our next finalist. Her portraits are arresting and her nature shots are about as sophisticated as I have ever seen. And I am talking about decades of study here. I am blown away by Chitra’s work and believe you will be too.
Take a look at Chitra’s work here. Congratulations to Chitra. We’re going to announce the next finalist in two weeks.
