The Landscape Awards 2025: Australian Photography Magazine

I’m so grateful to Australian Photography Magazine for having me back on the judging panel this year for The Landscape Awards 2025, presented by Camera House. It’s always such a privilege to be part of this amazing celebration of landscape photography across Australia and New Zealand.

This year, we saw over 2000 entries. From wild weather over a tiny woolshed to sweeping seascapes, dreamy long exposures and abstract aerials, every image told a story and I found myself constantly in awe of how deeply connected we can find ourselves when it comes to a place.

Even more heartening was the fact that together, the entrants raised over $5000 for the Australian Conservation Foundation, bringing the total to over $25,000 since the beginning of the competition 3 years ago. That’s something we can all be proud of. Photography with purpose will never cease to be powerful!

It was a pleasure to work alongside such a thoughtful group of photographers on the jury panel – Matt Palmer, Petra Leary, Will Patino, Steph Vella, Ignacio Palacios and Anthony McKee. Thanks also to the incredible sponsors – Camera House, ASUS, Western Digital, and OM System – for making this event possible.

To everyone who entered: thank you for sharing your vision, your voice and the landscapes that matter to you. I loved seeing what you’ve all captured and I’m already looking forward to what 2026 will bring!
