Spencer Cox / Natural Landscape Photography Awards

"Rocks and Geology, Winner. Creation of Earth. “The enigmatic patterns of these marble caves struck me as telling a story of creation: growing trees, ancient mountains, swirling galaxies. After taking this photo, I learned that the marble in this scene was saved from mining only because it is considered ‘low quality.’ I wonder, then, how many other remarkable scenes have vanished in service of our countertops?” "

Robert Birkby / Natural Landscape Photography Awards

Seascapes, Third Place. Curves. “A photograph captured at the end of a summer’s day on the Isle of Harris, Scotland. The light was fading and a long exposure time of two minutes was used to smooth the ocean and clouds, which seemed to complement each other perfectly.”

David Shaw / Natural Landscape Photography Awards

Intimate Landscape, Winner. Jurassic World. “This type of woodland is quite tricky to photograph, as it is so busy, and generally needs mist or thick fog to do it justice. For this particular trip, I didn’t have those conditions and decided to scout the area rather than focus on the photography. However, just as I was about to start the long trek back to the car, the sun came out and lit up this scene, leaving me scrambling to get ‘something’ before it disappeared again.”

Joshua Cripps / Natural Landscape Photography Awards

Grand Landscape, Highly Commended. Hidden Gem. “I took this photo while flying over New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park, one of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth. I shot it in hazy, late-afternoon light, the layers of the fjords stretching off toward the horizon.”

Hanneke Van Camp / Natural Landscape Photography Awards

"Projects, Winner. Living Landscapes. “Ever since I first traveled to Sápmi, I’ve felt deeply connected to its landscapes and culture. It has become my part-time home—a place of incredible beauty but also of fragility, facing threats from climate change and exploitation. Through this project, I hope to share its unique diversity and invite others to reconnect with nature and the values it carries.”"
