Being awarded at Wildlife Photographer of the Year is unforgettable. "Hintze hall" at Natural History Museum, London was tinted with red lights whilst the skeleton of the blue whale "Hope" was standing above us, I cannot describe the magical atmosphere! The exhibition is overwhelming, with stories of awareness, hope, change, and of course beauty. Being part of this collection makes me extremely proud. Huge congratulations to all the awarded photographers, from "grand title winner" Laurent Ballesta to the incredibly talented young photographers awarded, it is an honour to stand by your side. I was so lucky to share these days with my family and with my love Ilaria Mariagiulia Please have a look at the #WPY59 awarded mages here: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery
