“I’ve seen many excellent and creative photos in this year’s TPOTY final, and it’s such a great honor to find my work recognized,” Ravnak said. “Congratulations to all the winners; together, we are enthusiastically documenting this wonderful world, and perhaps this is a small contribution, a reminder to preserve its wonder for future generations.”
Notable winners included Athanasios Maloukos, capturing Siberian shamans in the “People and Cultures” category, and the impressive 14-year-old Caden Shepard Choi, who clinched the Young Travel Photographer of the Year award for her poignant black-and-white series on the Navajo people in Arizona.
From mist-covered Tuscan hills to a fish peering from a glass bottle, the winning images invite viewers to explore the delicate balance between humanity and the environment.
These awe-inspiring photographs will be available online and showcased at exhibitions in Birmingham, UK, and Sharjah, UAE, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in the visual narratives of our planet’s wonders.
