While living in East Africa, wildlife photographer Paul Joynson-Hicks was looking through his photos one day and came across some that made him laugh.
From that morning of laughter was born the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards in Paul’s tiny office on the slopes of Mount Meru in northern Tanzania.
“A funny animal photo is incredibly effective because there are no barriers to understanding or taboos to negotiate,” says the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. ‘To truly understand animals and the issues that affect them, you need to empathize with them as fellow inhabitants of the planet.’
Some of the finalists were selected from over 7,000 entries received for this year’s Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.
