From elephant close-ups in Tanzania to fishermen working in the Siberian tundra, the winners of a prestigious travel photography award have been announced.
The Travel Photographer Of The Year 2025 competition showcases the best work in travel photography.
It includes a range of categories, including Young Photographer and many portfolio sections.
Judge Krystal Chryssomallis said: ‘The standard this year was outstanding.
‘The strongest photographs carried depth, intention and emotion, demonstrating the narrative power of a single image and reminding us that our world, when truly seen, is extraordinarily powerful and beautiful.’
This year, the competition’s 23rd, saw winners chosen from more than 20,000 images submitted by amateur and professional photographers in 160 countries.
This year’s overall winner is Athanasios Maloukos, from Greece, who snapped up the award for two bodies of work exploring ritual, belief and movement.
