2023 Booooooom Photo Awards Winner: Jas Leonard

For our second annual Booooooom Photo Awards, supported by Format, we selected 5 winners, one for each of the following categories: Portrait, Street, Shadows, Colour, Nature. Now it is our pleasure to introduce the winner of the Nature category, Jas Leonard.

Jas Leonard is a photographer and mother of three living and working in the small rural town of Cleve, South Australia. She works mostly with film photography, documenting the passing time of motherhood and childhood, as well as the obscurity of living in a remote area and raising children in such isolation.
