Scott Wilson on Life After Winning Sony World Photography Awards

Scott Wilson photographed a stallion kicking up dust at Sand Wash Basin, Colorado, and that single frame took Open Photographer of the Year at the 2022 Sony World Photography Awards. In this interview with the World Photography Organisation, he traces the four years since: a shift from landscape and wildlife work into photojournalism, collaboration with animal-welfare organisations, and engagement with policymakers around wild horse advocacy. He also speaks to what he calls PhotoAdvocacy, using photography to move an issue from observation to action, and reflects on entering the Awards single image competition.
