As the organizers of the competition write, they are looking for photos that "show us the world: its people, places and cultures. Photographs that tell the history of given places and moments of travel. Images that show you what inspires you. "Undoubtedly, they have succeeded in this task.
Weimin Chu the winner of the National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year 2019
The title of National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year 2019 was obtained from China Weimin Chu. The photographer received $ 7,500 as a reward. His photography "Greenlandic Winter" also received the highest marks in the "city" category.
The awarded work was done in Upernavik - a fishing village on a tiny island in western Greenland. As Chu comments:
Historically, Greenlandic buildings were painted in different colors to indicate different functions, from the red shop windows to the blue fishermen's houses - a useful distinction when the landscape is covered with snow. This photo was taken during my three-month, personal photographic project presenting life in Greenland.
The awarded photo impresses with its calmness, colors and mood. Until you want to look at them, especially when we have such hot weather outside the window. This is not the only great photo in the competition. The jury awarded a dozen or so other photos that can be seen below. Which is your favorite?
