THIS year's Windsor Contemporary Art Fair sees an old favourite return as an award winner.

Tom Way, was named the winner in two categories in the 2015 ZSL Photography competition in September and returned from Germany on Sunday night where he found out he had won the title of European Wildlife Photographer of the Year. (CHECK)

Mr Way, who went to The Windsor Boys' School, said: "It's my local exhibition, it feels great to present my most recent images to my friends and family and my local supporters.

"To exhibit in your home town is awesome, it's my favourite show of the year."

As he returns for his third year as an exhibitor at the art fair in November, Mr Way will be showcasing his award winning images.

He added: "I wasn't able to make it last year because I was away working in Komodo Island so I'm looking forward to showing two years worth of work.

"A lot of it is new, which is quite exciting, I like to gage people's reactions."

Mr Way's image of a young orang-utan in Borneo was selected as the winner in the 'Last Chance to See' category in the ZSL photography competition and he was also recognised in the 'Perfect Moment' category for his photograph of two lions entitled 'The Strongest Bond'.

The winning photographs are now on display at the zoo until February 28 and he will also showcase them at the Windsor Contemporary Art Fair.

Mr Way said: " It's really special. Being an award winner sounds quite good, I am really pleased."

The art fair will run between 10am and 6pm on Saturday, November 14 and between 10am and 5pm on Sunday, November 15 with a private viewing and opening on Friday, November 13.

Mr Way added: "It's such a well-run event and there's always amazing talent.

"To be exhibiting amongst such prestigious art work is just great for me."
