Whitchurch photographer Kathryn Teri Goddard has won a national award for her Sinai Desert photograph
A photographer from Whitchurch has won a national award for a photograph taken during a trip to the Sinai Desert.
Kathryn Teri Goddard was named the winner of The Insurance Emporium’s Best Photograph 2026 for her image, Little Bedouins.
The photograph shows two boys and a camel resting in the Sinai Desert, with rugged mountains rising behind them.
Goddard took the picture during a visit to the region in May, capturing the boys and their camel against the dramatic desert landscape.
The image was selected as the winner of the Best Photograph category in The Insurance Emporium’s Good Things Happen Awards 2026.
The awards celebrate memorable achievements, experiences and moments captured by members of the public.
Goddard’s photograph stood out for its combination of the vast desert landscape and the everyday moment captured at its centre.
The two boys and the camel appear small against the towering mountains, creating a striking contrast between the people and the surrounding landscape.
The award gives national recognition to the Whitchurch photographer and her image of a moment captured during her visit to the Sinai.
