The World Photography Organisation has just named Belgian photographer Frederik Buyckx as the Sony World Photography Awards ' 2017 Photographer of the Year. The Awards' judges were challenged to find the best photographic series and were taken by the beauty, scale and effort involved in Buyckx's winning work titled "Whiteout".

The 2017 Awards received over 227,000 entries from 183 countries and is the world's largest photography competition. An exhibition of all the winning and shortlisted work, along with rare images by British photographer Martin Parr, recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to Photography prize, will run at Somerset House, London from 21 April - 7 May.

Chosen from the winners of the Awards' ten Professional categories, Chair of Judges Zelda Cheatle says of Frederik Buyckx's photographs:

"I have chosen a series of landscapes so that we may return to the essence of looking at photography. Landscape is often overlooked but it is central to our existence. These are beautiful pictures made by a serious photographer, and they are to be enjoyed. I hope this award will inspire many more photographers to take pictures that do not simply encompass the terrible aspects of life in these troubled times but also capture some of the joys and loveliness in each and every environment."

Buyckx was revealed as the Photographer of the Year and presented the $25,000 (USD) prize at an awards ceremony in London. Below you will find a gallery of the amazing winners from the prestigious contest.

Born in Antwerp in 1984, Frederik Buyckx is a freelance photographer for the Belgian newspaper De Standaard. Buyckx's images have been published and exhibited internationally and most recently he was shortlisted for the ZEISS Photography Award. The winning series "Whiteout" was taken in the Balkans, Scandinavia and Central Asia, remote areas where people often live in isolation and in close contact with nature. Buyckx explains:

"There is a peculiar transformation of nature when winter comes, when snow and ice start to dominate the landscape and when humans and animals have to deal with the extreme weather. The series investigates this struggle against disappearance."

Like in works of Modernism the shadow in the exhibited portraits is symbolic itself. Occupying nearly the whole picture it holds some mystery, and occasional points of light give us a chance to guess it. It may be said that along with the woman's body there is another inanimate character in the photograph. It is the shadow. The human figure is likened to the light fighting with the dark. In this struggle harmony is born.

This series was taken in a sports school in Jining, in Shandong province, China. Liu Bingqing and Liu Yujie are twin sisters, who have liked gymnastics since their childhood. They have studied, trained and grown up here.

I was in Liuwa Plain at the end of the dry season. When the rains finally arrived thousands of Wildebeest migrated to the area. I positioned a remote flash in front of the herd and drove round so that I could use the flash to back-light the rain. It was a challenging shot as I had to predict the movement of the animals and hope they passed between me and the flash. I had to compose and manually focus in complete darkness, all while attempting to keep my equipment dry in the driving rain!

Hundreds of missing people are waiting to be recognized by the different departments of the state for this reason that is preserved at least some part of their body, whether a tattoo, a mark on one of their bones, a prosthesis.

Michelle Daiana Gentile, aged 21, of Escuela de Fotografía Motivarte, won the Student Photographer of the Year title with a stunning series called "Only Hope".

Key Facts & Information

EARLY HISTORY

Before the term photography came into existence, the Chinese and Greek philosophers during the 5th century described the basic principles of optics which led to the idea of a basic pinhole camera.

Later, Aristotle discussed pinhole image formation in his work in the 4th century.

In 1021 BCE, Iraqi scientist Alhazen described in his book of optics the function, and later on the invention, of the camera obscura. It was later on confirmed by Italian scientist Giambattista della Porta. He demonstrated and described in detail the use of a camera obscura with a lens.

By 1685, Johann Zahn envisioned a box form of a portable camera which would later on come to reality 150 years later.

In 1816, Joseph Nicephore Niepce photographed images in a small camera, but the photographs were negatives.

He then invented the Heliograph, which he used to make the earliest permanent photograph from nature, View from the Window at Le Gra.

In 1837, Niepce and Louis Daguerre invented the first practical photographic process.

On the same year, Gaspard Felix Tournachon took the first aerial photograph Place De L'Etoile, Paris - shot 520 meters above a tethered balloon.

Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell then produced the first color photograph in 1861.

From 1839-1860, Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre's daguerreotype was introduced and became the first commercially successful photographic process.

At the same time, William Henry Fox Talbot used in his photographic process paper coated with silver iodide which was later called Calotype or Talbotype.

From the mid-1850s through the early 20th century Stereoscopy became popular. It was a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by means of stereopsis for binocular vision.

In 1851, Frederick Scott Archer introduced wet collodion process. The process requires the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed and developed within fifteen minutes in a darkroom.

Between 1871 and 1878, dry plate process was introduced and commercialized. Richard Leach Maddox led the beginning of the modern era of photography.

Photography of movement was also introduced by Eadweard Muybridge. He used a series of 12 to 24 cameras arranged side by side opposite a reflecting screen to produce sets of sequential photographs of successive phases.

In 1907, Auguste and Louis Lumière introduced the Autochrome process and produced the first practical color photography process.

It was in 1935 when the modern era of color photography was publicly used through Kodachrome film - Kodak (United States) and Agfacolor - Agfa (Germany).

Since the 1960s, ultraviolet and infrared films have become photographic avenues. Digital photography then opened the potential in full spectrum photography, where careful filtering choices across the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared led to new artistic visions.

Light field photography (synthetic aperture photography) process allows focusing at various depths of field to be selected after the photograph has been captured.

COMMON GENRES OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Portrait photography - It aims to capture the personality and mood of an individual or group which may be candid or posed, full body, or close-ups.

Photojournalism - It is a way of telling the story of a newsworthy event through photographs. It should be as objective and truthful as possible and capturing candid moments as they happen is more important than getting picture-perfect shots.

Fashion photography - It showcases fashion clothing, shoes, and accessories to make them more desirable to consumers. The photographs are commonly published in magazines and online.

Sports photography - To portray the passion, drama, and emotion of people involved in sporting events sports photographers aim and shoot quickly to keep up with the action around them.

Still Life photography - features inanimate objects-natural or manmade. It can be artistic or commercial so object selection, arrangement, and lighting are key to getting a great shot.

Wildlife photography - It is concerned with documenting various forms of wildlife in their natural habitat.

Long exposure photography - It involves making use of the camera's technical abilities to hold the shutter open for longer periods of time to capture surreal images.

Architecture photography - Generally includes shooting building exteriors and interiors, as well as bridges, other structures, and cityscapes.

Landscape photography - It is the art of capturing images that embody the essence of nature and the outdoors.
