The Underwater Photographer of the Year award is one I look forward to every year, as it consistently produces beautiful photography of life in another world.
The annual competition celebrates that which lies beneath the surface of oceans, lakes, rivers and pools. This year saw 6,750 entries vying for the title of Underwater Photographer of the Year 2025 – a title awarded to Spanish photographer Alvaro Herrero, for his photograph Radiant Bond. Taken in French Polynesia, Radiant Bond depicts the special connection between a mother humpback whale and her newborn calf.
