. Eleanor Bennett has been winning awards for her work since she was just twelve years old.  Now sixteen, she has received numerous accolades for her photography; winning prizes and awards.  She is also regularly published in books and magazines around the world. She writes:  “I was almost 12 when I first started to do photography to accompany a nature journal about biodiversity. “I had already won art competitions at the time. The competition in which I entered my journal did not result in me being placed in the competition. It had sparked off an interest in capturing wildlife and shortly after my Mum bought me a subscription to National Geographic in which I was the advertisement for the See The Bigger Picture Photography competition. I decided to enter one of my images taken in my back garden and after being placed in the competition as an international Honourable mention my work became exhibited around the world at the age of thirteen. “To me photography is self expression and the aim to create art that excludes no good person.  I want to cross all barriers with the medium of my work and for it too be seen on all continents.  I like for people to find themselves in my work and for me to find how to become a better artist.” Nature springs.
