Travel Photographer Of The Year 2024 Celebrates Stunning Visual Stories

Striking photographs of train drivers working diligently within coal mines and images capturing the bond between humans and wildlife were celebrated at the 2024 Travel Photographer of the Year (TPOTY) Awards. This year’s competition drew over 20,000 entries from photographers hailing from more than 150 countries, making it more competitive than ever.

The overall title was awarded to Piper Mackay, an American photographer living in Kenya, whose portfolio included evocative shots of Rendille girls and traditional tribal women, along with majestic Maasai giraffes spanning the Mara plains. TPOTY founder Chris Coe remarked on Mackay’s approach, praising it for its simplicity and effectiveness: “They are beautifully composed, celebrating both indigenous women and wildlife on the African savanna.” Mackay expressed her gratitude, saying, “I was left speechless. After more than 20 years of photographing across the African continent, this honor means a great deal to me, especially because it reflects both my wildlife and tribal images.”
