These Landscape Photos Are Absolutely Stunning! Appreciating the High-Visual Winning Works of the Nature Landscape Photography Contest

Thomas Chu Photo

The International Landscape Photographer of the Year is a landscape photography contest whose primary standard is visual expression, and its high-quality winning photos have always been impressive.

Every year, the judges select 101 annual photos from the submissions, along with several special grand prizes.

Appreciating these wonderful works not only offers a visual feast, but also provides plenty of inspiration for pre- and post-processing in photography.

Oleg Ershov

Photographer of the Year Oleg is a photography enthusiast. His style is deeply influenced by photographers such as Joe Cornish, David Ward, Rafael Rojas, and Bruce Percy. He excels at observing fine details of subjects and presenting textures, details, and materiality that are rarely noticed but extremely striking.

The other winning works of 2019 are also very rich in subject and style — precipitous peaks, mysterious forests, stunning rocks, from minimalist elegance to panoramic grandeur. Truly breathtakingly beautiful.
