The British Photography Awards showcased a dazzling array of images, from a breathtaking view of the Milky Way above sunflowers to a daring skateboarder soaring through a ring of fire. The competition, open to UK and international photographers, featured a wide range of categories. Marc Lock, a drone category winner, described the Stwlan Dam road in North Wales as "a marvel of man-made engineering etched into the natural landscape of Eryri."
Ethan Fraser captured a sports category winner of a skateboarder leaping through a ring of fire, taken at Kings Park Skatepark in Dorset during the King of Kings event. This annual celebration pays tribute to Nathan Heard, a local skateboarder who lost his life, with skaters invited to jump through the ring in memory of him. Documentary photographer Brad Wakefield's underwater portrait of Dan Hawkes, a seaweed farmer from Cornwall, won the documentary category.
The serene image highlights the environmentally friendly practice of seaweed farming, with Hawkes collecting seaweed during a free dive. The awards, staffed by dedicated volunteers, use all proceeds for charitable causes.
