The winners of the Nature TTL Photographer of the Year 2024 competition have been announced.

More than 8,000 images were entered this year, and the standard was incredibly high.

Bence Máté, from Hungary, has been chosen as this year’s overall winner, taking the title of Nature TTL Photographer of the Year 2024 and the £1,250 grand prize.

“I never get tired of photographing the playful wrestling of young ground squirrels. Their lively antics are a joy to watch, as they dart around, nipping and tumbling over each other with boundless energy,” says Máté. “The dust kicked up into the air from their swift movements creates a sense of motion and excitement, adding a dynamic element that brings the image to life.”

This year’s Young Nature TTL Photographer of the Year 2024 is James Fatemi from the USA. His image ‘Amberwing Silhouette’ was selected as the winning image in the youth categories. Fatemi wins £250 in camera vouchers, and this prestigious title.

“During an evening at the local marsh, the sun was setting beyond the trees on the horizon. I noticed numerous dragonflies foraging just above the water, eventually perching on one of the sticks protruding from the surface,” says Fatemi. “This behaviour allowed me to predict where they would land, especially since certain individuals seemed to have their own preferred perches. I chose this particular stick because of its proximity to the water, which allowed me to capture a low-angle shot with the bright reflection from the bank framing the dragonfly and illuminating its amber wings.”
