Pick of the pics!

We have curated this selection of some of the best images from thousands of entries by photographers based all over the world. From amazing skylines to emotional portraits, this week's pick of the pics shows the greatness of the images entered to the Sony World Photography Awards 2021 so far.

Each image featured in our weekly round-ups will be put into the monthly draw, where one lucky photographer will win a 20 Image Bundle (the chance to enter 20 more images to the Open competition) plus exposure across the World Photography Organisation online platforms – including the blog, social media and our weekly newsletter.
