Whether Underwater or Up a Tree, Close-Up Photographer of the Year Delights in the Details

31 Oct, 2024

This post was originally published on Colossal

Showcasing incredible close-up, macro, and micro photography from around the world, Close-up Photographer of the Year (previously) has announced its shortlist for the 2024 competition. From flowing kelp to baby animals to itty bitty arachnids, the images highlight the diversity of life on our planet in fantastic detail.

Jurors sifted through more than 11,600 entries submitted in 11 categories, including animals, insects, invertebrates, underwater, arachnids, and more. The entries take us deep into the ocean, through the forest, and face-to-face with an array of creatures we don’t often get to see.

Colossal readers may recognize a stunning portrait of fungi by Barry Webb, and Csaba Daróczi—last year’s overall winner—makes the list again with a striking black-and-white portrait of a pine marten, a creature known to be notoriously elusive.

The Top 100 pictures and winners will be announced in January, and in the meantime, you can visit the contest’s website to see more and follow CUPOTY on Instagram for updates.
