Wildlife Photographer of the Year Portfolio 35

Front covers rarely get more eye-catching than this. The stunning image of Arctic wolves was taken by Amit Eshel and is among the 100 pictures awarded in the sixty-first Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, announced in October 2025.

Inside you’ll find a rich variety of subjects, from wild regions, remarkable behaviour and portraits of creatures you may never have seen before, to coverage of ethical and environmental issues. All of this adds context to the background stories – not just about how the pictures were made and the equipment used but also details of the subjects and why the photographers chose them.
