Dog photographer wins prestigious award
Pictured: Sophia's winning photograph of Amber the Dalmatian.

Sophia Hutchinson's Dalmatian picture swept the top spot at the TOG Awards.

A dog photographer – or should we say, phoDOGgrapher – has been named the 2022 International PhoTOGrapher of the Year at the 2022 TOG Awards.

Sophia Hutchinson, a photographer from Warwickshire, took home the $500 cash prize for her photograph of a Dalmatian named Amber.

The TOG Awards, organised and administrated by That Photography Spot, is entered by photographers from 24 countries worldwide, and judged by three highly-respected professional photographers. 

Jessica McGovern, one of the judges, commented on the incredible photograph of Amber: “To achieve one of the top scores in The TOG Awards is a serious achievement, but to gain the highest collated score across nearly 700 entries is remarkable. We can only see great things to come for Ms Hutchinson, whose imagery was truly stunning.”
