Bence Máté, world-renowned nature photographer also received an award at the prestigious competition said the following about his work:
"Photography for me is like breathing, nature is where I feel most comfortable.
Each photo is the result of long planning and hard work that often lasts years. A lot of things can be planned: the perspective, background and lights.
However, I have no influence on what will appear in front of me and when - I depend entirely on the weather and the whims of the animals, and everyday, every minute, something new happens."
