An Auckland teenager has again been honoured alongside some of the best wildlife photograhers in the world.

An image of a reef-star fish taken by 16-year-old photographer D'Artagnan Sprengel has been chosen by the Natural History Museum to be exhibited in its wildlife photographer of the year competition. 

D'Artagan's photo was selected out of nearly 50,000 entries, and is the second year in the row he's been included in the exhibition. 

So to find out what motivates this young shutterbug he talks to Mark Leishman.
