Top 100 Photographers of the Year 2021

Honoured to reveal our Top 100 Photographers of 2021! Many, many congratulations to the photographers who feature here, as to get one award from us is incredibly tough, let alone multiple awards in the same year.

Special congratulations to our overall Photographer of the Year, Valter Antunes, who amassed 22 awards in 2021; an incredible achievement, and you can see one of his Reportage Awards above. Special congratulations as well to our Storyteller of the Year, David Scholes, who won an amazing 11 Story Awards in the year.

As well as the below Top 100 Photographers Worldwide, you can also view our Top 25 Storytellers in the World, and Top 10 Photographers for the following countries: Belgium, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, UK and USA.

*Ranking is determined by overall number of Awards won in 2021; in the case of a tie, the photographer who won the most Story Awards ranks higher.

No poses; nothing staged: This is Reportage.
