Animals, architecture, movement, the wonder of nature and the depletion of a planet in peril – all this and more is captured in pictures that rose to the top of the pile in the Sony 2022 World Photography Awards.
The acclaimed competition, which is now in its 15th year, drew more than 170 000 entries with photographers tapping deep into their creative wells to produce pictures that can only be described as a feast for the eye.
