Well what a year that was! Few would have foreseen a global pandemic and for most of us it came as a complete surprise! We've all felt the strain and have probably (on more than one occasion) felt void of hope and inspiration. That said, taking photos through this period has given many of us a creative outlet to channel some of our pain and fear - as well as highlighting our simple pleasures and daily details.
The TDL team want to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing your 2020 stories with us - each and every image you post helps to foster a cohesive community and we can't wait to see what you create in 2021.
In the meantime, here's a combination of 1) 2020 top shot winners; 2) your most popular images featured on Instagram and finally; 3) the TDL team favourites from both magazine submissions this year. Congratulations to all of the amazing artists featured.
