Award-Winning Photos by Ellen Zangla Photography
Award-Winning Pet Photography, Wildlife Photography, and More
Each year, I submit photos to state, national, and international photography competitions. I enjoy the challenge—not only does it push me creatively, but it also helps me become a better photographer. Since I started competing, my work has been recognized with honors at some of the highest levels of competition.
Highlights include:
-
Representing PPA’s Team USA in the 2025 World Photographic Cup
-
Winning bronze, silver, and gold medals multiple times during PPA’s International Photographic Competition
-
Being named Photographer of the Year multiple times by my state photography association
-
Earning my Certified Professional Photographer, Master of Photography, and Master of Animal Imagery degrees
In the following galleries, you’ll find some of my favorite award-winning pet photography images. I’ve also included winning images from wildlife, landscapes, and other genres that I photograph.
