Ground Vein, 2025. Hanksville, located in southern Utah, USA, has many unique and fascinating geological features, such as its sandstone and boulders. The photographer had visited the geological structure of Factory Butte several times, but wanted to capture its beauty from a higher altitude. This image was captured using a drone, with the warm low light emphasising the texture. © Xiaoying Shi, China Mainland, Shortlist, Open Competition, Landscape, 2025 Sony World Photography Awards

In the UAE, Donell Gumiran won the 2025 National Award with an image titled A Timeless Tradition , show- ing an older Emirati woman in abaya and burqa on Abu Dhabi’s Corniche, with an old fishing boat in the foreground and the city’s high-rises in the distance. Commenting on his win, he said: “Photography allows me to tell stories and capture moments that matter. ‘A Timeless Tradition’ is special to me because it reflects the rich culture and heritage of the UAE. I’m thankful to Sony and the World Photography Organisation for giv- ing photographers like me a chance to share our work with the world.” The 2026 exhibition, which opens at Somerset House in London from 17 April to 4 May 2026, will feature a selec- tion of winning and shortlisted images from the 2026 Awards, as well as special presentations by Zed Nelson.

Blossoms in a Dreamscape, 2025. Bathed in soft pink hues, these weeping plum trees in full bloom create a dreamlike atmosphere.
