London Camera Exchange Photographer of the Year 2025

THE 2025 COMPETITION from the well-known British retailer has now finished, with a host of fantastic winners to speak of. London-based photographer Capri McPherson-Noel took the overall prize for her vibrant image Sunkissed Boy. It was picked from more than 10,000 entries across 14 categories that spanned a broad range of genres. The competition culminated in a ceremony at The Photography and Video Show in London on 9 March, where McPherson-Noel was presented with a £3000 LCE voucher. Each of the 14 category winners were presented with a £500 voucher. John Seager’s excellently composed image Platform No 1, which won the street category, is a personal favourite, along with Colin Vanner’s Backlit Cuckoo, which triumphed in the birds category. Other notable winners included a dreamy landscape called Close to Heaven by Edyta Rice, Dawid Glawdzin’s incredible astro shot Cosmic Gates, plus the people’s choice, a wintry cityscape by Andrew Scott called Steep Hill Lincoln.
