Breathtaking Award-Winning Black and White Photos from the 35 Photography Awards
1st Place Winner: “Kamchatka drive” by Alexandr Kukrinov, Russian Federation

In a world saturated with color, the 11th Annual 35 Photography Awards makes a powerful case for the enduring magic of black and white.
The winning images demonstrate that by removing color, photographers can amplify emotion, texture, and form, revealing the essential core of their subjects. From dramatic landscapes and intimate portraits to fleeting moments in wildlife and daily life, each photograph transforms the ordinary into a timeless piece of art. This stunning collection proves that without the distraction of color, a photograph can speak more directly to the soul, relying on light and shadow to tell the most compelling stories.
