Nine categories, $30,000 in cash and prizes: these are the winning images from the 2021 Photographer of the Year.

30 ANIMAL AND NATURE
Few categories illustrate the breadth and variety of photography like Animal and Nature, a true celebration of the best of the natural world. For the first time, both our winner and runner-up this year were captured underwater.
On these pages you’ll experience the diversity of life on our planet, captured by some of our most talented photographers.
48 AERIAL
A new category for 2021, in Aerial we wanted to see the best images
captured from above. Encompassing images taken via drone, aircraft or simply from a high location, the judges were looking for imagery that stepped beyond the ordinary and presented a view of the world only a lucky few ever get to experience.
39 LANDSCAPE
In an era when the definition of landscape photography continues to be redefined by a new
generation of shooters, the challenges of capturing an award-wiing landscape portfolio have never been greater. This year, we were delighted to see our judges reward images that mastered the fundamentals while also bringing something new. Read on to see the winners and finalists.
