Kallurin, Faroe Islands

This breathtaking landscape in Kalsoy, part of the remote Faroe Islands, is home to the candy-striped Kallur Lighthouse – but it’s the wild, dramatic beauty of the cliffs that Italian photographer Alessio Mesiano strove to represent. Mesiano, who divides his time between Milan, Italy and the Faroe Islands, endured bitingly cold conditions to capture the coastline in its most beautiful light.

 White Mountains, New Hampshire, USA

Massachusetts-based Ben Skaar spent two nights sleeping in his car to get the perfect shots of New Hampshire’s White Mountains, and the resulting photographs won him the title of Young Travel Photographer of the Year in the 15-18 category. This particular shot was taken with a drone, capturing the autumn colors at their most vivid and blazing at sunrise.

Lone Pine, California, USA

Nayana Rajesh’s images of night skies earned her the title of runner-up in the 15-18 age category, with striking images of stars and city lights in New Mexico, Texas and California. This incredible, sparkling image of a silhouette against a star-blanketed sky was taken in summer 2018 in California’s Lone Pine, when Rajesh, who’s 16, was on a trip with her dad.

Forest of Finland, Spain

Crowned winner in the 14 Years and Under Category, 11-year-old Miguel Sánchez García, learned to take gorgeous images with his father. The Spanish rising star loves to train his lens on natural landscapes and wildlife, particularly in the mountains. His winning images – including this shot of the Forest of Finland in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains just outside Madrid – look at forests from a different, dreamily beautiful perspective.

Woodbury, New Zealand

USA-based Neil Shet was named runner-up in the 14 Years And Under category for his beautiful shots of rural landscapes on New Zealand’s South Island. He took the series, including this photograph of grazing sheep against a backdrop of rolling hills, during the “golden hour” just before sunset, imbuing the images with a warm, pinkish hue softened by overhead fog.

Pallas Cat, Mongolia

This fabulously fluffy feline certainly seems to know how to work the camera. The arresting image was taken by Australian photographer Joshua Holko in Mongolia’s remote Wild Steppe region who was taken with the cat’s round body, puffed up by its winter coat. The cat stayed obligingly still while he took the perfect shot. It caught the attention of judges, too, earning Holko a special mention in the Nature, Sealife, Wildlife Portfolio category.
