BPOTY - Celebrating the best images from India

With each competition the BPOTY judging team has noticed the increasing quality of entries from photographers based in India. BPOTY 2019 was an amazing year with some truly stunning photographs entered from photographers from this part of the world, many of which are featured in the latest BPOTY book which can be purchased through the BPOTY website here..

We thought we would share the best of these images in our lastest blog, featuring images from Hira Punjabi, Kallol Mukherjee, Yashodhan Bhatia and Rahul Sachdev. These photographs are great examples of the skill and talent the competition is attracting from all around the world: previous winners have come from the United Kingdom, Mexico and Peru. The BPOTY team can’t wait to see what treasures await them for 2020 when judging begins this December.

BPOTY 2020 is now open for entries until 30th November 2019. Visit the website for more information and to enter.
