Photographing a landscape is not as simple as it might seem. It requires patience, persistence, and determination—all qualities that Canadian photographer Andrew Mielzynski, 2024 International Landscape Photographer of the Year, demonstrated in his portfolio.
“Great landscape photography requires a great deal of patience—patience for the right season, the right weather, and the right light,” chairman of judges Peter Eastway said. “It also takes perseverance because rarely will the season, weather, and light work together in ways that inspire us ... And that’s why to be a successful landscape photographer, you also need determination to see your projects through.”
