E-E photographer wins statewide photography award
Examiner-Enterprise Photographer Andy Dossett has been recognized in a statewide photojournalism contest for a November shot.
The photo, depicting Erich Minton working in his Bartlesville glassblowing shop, was announced Wednesday as the winner of the November 2021 OGE Energy Corp.-Oklahoma Press Association photo contest.
When published on Nov. 6, the photo was also picked up by Yahoo! News.
A Bartlesville-native, Dossett began taking photos for the E-E in May 2020. He is also the director of On The Rock Ministries.
Always a lover of photography, Dossett began to pursue it more seriously in January 2020 when he used his tax return to purchase a professional camera. His journey has been entirely self-taught.
"I was watching a documentary about Annie Leibovitz and she was talking about how she got into photography by taking pictures of people she loved so I got my camera and started talking pictures of all my family," Dossett said.
