The International Landscape Photographer of The Year competition awarded the most beautiful landscape photos of 2020. Some of them look out of this world and are simply extraordinary.
Photography is a sublime expression of reality, it is impressive what a lens is capable of capturing with the play of light and shadows. But there is a genre of photography that stands out for its connection with environments, whether nature or human life; landscape photography.
The scenarios captured by landscape photographers seem out of another world and enchant our senses. This year, the 2020 International Landscape Photographer Award competition awarded the most outstanding artist of the genre based on his art.
With more than 3,800 entries of the most beautiful landscape photos, the seventh edition of the award featured two main categories: Photograph of the Year is awarded to the best individual landscape photograph. While to be named International Landscape Photographer of the Year requires a set of four stunning images. The latter is the top award, recognizing the additional skill and artistry required to produce a portfolio of landscape photography.
