Katarina Trnikova of Cork-based J Barter Travel Group is our June winner in the ITTN+EMIRATES Travel Photographer of the Year competition with her photo entitled: Last Drink Before The Storm. Katarina was presented with her €200 voucher by Helena Sweeney, Sales Executive – Munster, Emirates.
Katarina took her photo with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in May 2016 in the Seychelles – while on her honeymoon! She told ITTN: “We were having pre-dinner drinks in a restaurant at La Passe port on the east coast of La Digue Island in the Seychelles, admiring the beautiful scenery, when the winds started up and the sea became choppy.”
