Nature TTL Photographer of The Year 2023

Browse some of the dramatic and amazing winning photographs in the prestigious Nature TTL Photographer of the Year competition.


Great photos can tell us stories about nature that words alone can’t convey. The winning entries in this year's competition prove that, as far as nature is concerned, a picture is worth a thousand words.


Celebrating the beauty of the world around us, over 8,000 images were entered into this year’s competition, with nature photographers from all around the world vying for the £1,500 ($1,840) prize money.


Here are a handful of OGN's favourites, but if you would like to see all the prize winners and runners-up, head over to Nature TTL to take a look.

An intriguing image that made use of the light from traffic signals was Fading Away by Robert Gloeckner of the US. In it, he captures the reflection of a great blue heron in water lit by the green of a traffic light. He used intentional camera movement to create a fading perspective.
