The winning images from the 2025 International Travel Photographer of the Year (TPOTY) awards have been revealed! The awarded shots showcase the incredible diversity of travel photography – from intimate and amusing portraits to atmospheric landscapes, capturing the planet’s climate and its inhabitants, both large and small.
This year marks the first time a photographer from Greece has been named the overall winner.
