Discover the winners and finalists of The Independent Photographer’s 2024 Travel Photography Award, which were announced today.
This summer, we wanted to see images that communicate the life of a place in all its splendor and trigger our memories. Whatever the photographers’ subject may have been—Street, Portrait, Landscape, Documentary—we wanted to share their journey, visually and intellectually!
We’re delighted and honored to present the work of these exceptionally talented artists, which we firmly believe represents the best of today’s photography.
