This is obviously written fo0r promotional reasons, and is a blp with no proper references. Aside from that, I couldn't find the sources to confirm he meets WP:N, or see a suitable WP:ATD. This has been in CAT:NN's backlog for 12 years - hopefully it can now be resolved. Boleyn (talk) 14:27, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Won important international awards, as covered for example by CNN and National Geographic. Unclear to me why the sources would be hard to find. The sources are usually in English. Meets WP:ANYBIO #1, WP:NCREATIVE #4d and the WP:GNG. gidonb (talk) 15:51, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep I cannot see how WP:BEFORE was done here. Overall winner, Travel Photographer of the Year, 2015; and Grand title winner, Wildlife Photographer of the Year, 2018. I'm not aware of the former award, but the latter is significant. The latter win has coverage in a very many major media outlets. I have now added all of this to the article. Passes WP:GNG: "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Passes WP:ANYBIO: "1. The person has received a well-known and significant award". Unless I misunderstand "critical", then passes WP:ARTIST "4. The person's work (or works) has: (c) won significant critical attention". -Lopifalko (talk) 05:53, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The subject has also had a book of his work published with a major publisher that appears to have been reviewed in The Times (I cannot read more than the top of the article). -Lopifalko (talk) 06:59, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
