Travel Photographer of the Year, Overall Winner, Stefano Pensotti, Italy

Image credits: Stefano Pensotti

Stefano Pensotti started taking photo when he was a child, stealing the camera of his older brother. At the age of 14, he began to learn the techniques of the darkroom, exploring the alchemy of the process of development and printing in black and white. There followed years of assiduous attendance of the photographic environments of Milan, stories, authors and galleries that deeply mark his photography as both linguistic and conceptual. Photography become the reason for traveling, his second big passion. After exploring all aspects of photography and traveling he started to deal with geographic reportage.

A Masters in Business Training brought him collaboration with a corporate training company and the tools to understand cultures and people, essential skills for reportage photography. He is a semi-professional photographer, his involvement with the training company allowing him time for photography and traveling. He has travelled in over 50 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.

Young Travel Photographer of the Year, Winner, Isabella Smith, United States

Image credits: Isabella Smith

14 year-old Isabella Smith lives in Collierville, a small town in Tennessee. Throughout her life, she has always had a problem doing well in school because she has a hard time focusing in any subject. But since the first time she held a camera when she was about 8, she discovered it is one of the only things she could concentrate on for a long time. She can even read about photography for a long time.

Isabella was recently diagnosed with ADD with some dyslexia and realised that, while she had a hard time using words to tell stories, she could do a much better job telling a story with photos. She was lucky enough to go to Morocco last year and wanted to tell stories of the places she visited through her photography.

Young TPOTY 14 and under, Winner, Daniel Kurian, Australia

Daniel Kurian is a 12 year-old who lives in Perth, Western Australia. He currently attends Year 6 in primary school in Harrisdale, WA. He started taking an interest in photography when he was around 7 years old, though his parents admit that they didn’t give it much attention until 2017, when they noticed that he was capturing subjects which neither of them would have even thought of. Later that year, he was fortunate to attend a photography workshop conducted at school by a teacher and a member of office staff who are photography enthusiasts. That kick-started his drive for photography, and he loves experimenting with manual mode, different shutter speeds and different light.

Young TPOTY 15-18, Winner, Fardin Oyan, Bangladesh

Image credits: Fardin Oyan

16 year-old Fardin Oyan lives in Bangladesh and is currently studying in 11th grade at college. He had a keen interest in technical gadgets since his early childhood, and was particularly interested in cameras because photography never grew old as computer games did. When he was in 7th grade, he convinced his father to buy him a compact camera which was worth a little above a hundred USD. He can clearly remember the first snap he took – two sparrows just outside his window: “I was so happy that I can’t describe that moment in words. The camera felt like a magical box to me. After that moment, I decided to take the path of photography seriously and now photography has become the part and parcel of my life.”

“So I just take pictures and enjoy it. I lose myself in travelling and exploring new countries with their mountains, peoples and customs, exploring new natural settings and discovering the unknown, letting myself go, capturing whatever I come across that catches my eye, whether it be flora, fauna or a charming setting, which I then interpret through my own experience and mood and I frame to immortalise in a small fragment that I can share with everybody else.”

“Since 2005, I have greatly felt the great charm of photography. So I began to teach myself. I usually like to go to difficult places which are not often visited by ordinary people, hoping to experience different feelings, and record it with my lens. The biggest challenge for photographers lies in the fact that when you capture a moment you also need to be creative. Photography is perception, and here ‘knowledge’ is not only knowledge, but more importantly, through photography we can perceive everything around us that can move us, like a country, a city, a mountain village. Thanks to photography we can convey not only a culture, but also a spirit.”

Tranquillity, Winner, Simon Morris, United Kingdom

Image credits: Simon Morris

Simon Morris is a semi-professional travel photographer who has been taking serious travel images for around 15 years. His love of photography first started around the time when he had a trip to New York City – armed with a little point-and-shoot camera he attempted to capture anything that moved! As time went on he visited many countries that have rich histories and cultures. At present however he has a yearning to take pictures in cold snowbound countries like Arctic Siberia in Russia and West and Northern Mongolia. For Simon great travel images have a narrative or tell stories… that’s what he strives to do; create stories that have an impact on the viewer.
