Sony World Photography Awards

17 Apr-5 May 2025

Overview

The highly-anticipated Sony World Photography Awards exhibition returns to Somerset House this Spring. Visit the iconic venue to uncover remarkable photographs from the past year and delve into powerful, universal stories - both big and small - from across the globe today. 

Discover what lies beyond the lens and be captivated by the full spectrum of photography: from wildlife and nature to architecture and design, documentary projects to sport, portraiture to still life and everything in between. Immerse yourself in this visual medium through photographs that are printed, projected and presented digitally, and explore a myriad of diverse topics from the world’s leading competition for photography.

Be one of the first to view previously unseen works by the 2024 Photographer of the Year Juliette Pavy. The special curation showcases two projects that explore humanity's impact on the environment – from shadowing scientists in the Mediterranean Sea to following the lives of Inuits affected by the increasing mercury levels.

Reignite your fascination with our planet through the unique perspectives of award-winning photographers and discover different cultures, traditions and current topics that are bound to spark conversations long after you leave the exhibition.
