Spectacular Winning Photos from the 2025 International Landscape Photography Awards

“Storm Over Fields” by J. Fritz Rumpf

The 12th International Landscape Photography Awards has unveiled its 2025 winners, and the collection is nothing short of breathtaking.

At the forefront is J. Fritz Rumpf from the United States, whose portfolio earned the top honor with images that radiate patience, precision, and passion. Strict contest rules ensured authenticity — every shot had to be captured by the photographer, with no AI or machine-made shortcuts, and all editing done by hand to enhance the natural drama. The 20 winning photos showcase landscapes in every mood, from glowing mountain ridges and golden deserts to fog-draped forests, crashing coastlines, and star-filled skies. For those eager to explore further, the Awards team has released a 2025 eBook featuring the full gallery and stories behind each image.
