Thomas Chu Photo

In the article "About Photography Contests, Here's the Most Detailed Beginner's Guide," Thomas shared many photography contests worth following.

By following the winning works of these contests, we can learn directly from first-class photos in aspects like frame organization, theme planning, and shooting thinking.

And the Sony World Photography Awards is one of the contests Thomas has followed long-term — whether single images in the Open category or series in the Professional category, they've consistently maintained a certain level.

In today's article, Thomas will share some of the 2021 Sony World Photography Awards winning works I like, in the landscape/environment/architecture/travel/nature categories.
