A photo essay of the 2025 Photographer of the Year winning images PLUS the runner up images. Discover the story behind the lens and read about the photographers who have inspired our judges, and captured some truly stunning images of their time on the South West Coast Path in 2025.
We are delighted to introduce Don Taylor, an artist who takes his inspiration from the land and sea of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Working with driftwood, coppiced wood, and the unique serpentine stone that can only be found here, natural materials fuel his creativity.
Behind The Lens provides insight from each photographer about their image displayed in the South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year Exhibition at Paddington Station, London from 3rd – 30th July 2024.
