Prizewinning landscapes

‘LANDSCAPE Photographer of the Year: Collection 9’ is a coffee-table book featuring full-colour prints of the winning and commended entries in the 2015 Take a view Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. 

The exhibition of the winning entries can be seen at an exhibition London’s Waterloo Station, which runs from November 23 to February 7.

Both the book and competition showcase the UK’s scenery through the eyes of some of the country’s best amateur and professional photographers.

From saltmarshes, chalk cliffs, and misty lochs to tumbledown villages, geometric farmland and jagged cityscapes, Landscape Photographer of the Year: Collection 9 captures the splendour of Britain’s rural and urban landscapes, from Scotland’s Outer Hebrides to Cornwall.

The overall winner is Dorset-based Andy Farrer, with a shot of the Jurassic Coast under snow. He gets a £10,000 prize.

Charlie Waite, head judge, award founder, and Britain’s leading landscape photographer said: ‘Andy’s winning photograph of this beautiful area of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is a gentle image with a simple, effective composition that reflects the mood of a cold winter’s morning. It is believable and appealing, with the snow adding an interesting dimension to a classic scene.’

Landscape Photographer of the Year: Collection 9 is published by AA Publishing at £25. The Landscape Photographer of the Year awards are held in association with VisitBritain.
