Our images of the year

Amy Davies, Features Editor

Flooded Cave by Martin Broen

Sony A7R III, 8-15mm, 1/20sec at f/4.5, ISO 6400

As the Features Editor of the magazine, I see so many amazing photos – whether from books, exhibitions, projects, competitions or elsewhere – that it can be somewhat overwhelming when you’re tasked with picking just one to include in our Christmas issue.

Not only are there so many great images – remembering them all when it comes to putting this together is another big challenge. So, I’ll caveat my choice here with the statement that it’s very possible that another image is actually my favourite and will come to my mind long after I’ve written this down!

That said, it really is an incredible image. I wrote about it in our 23 May issue, having spoken to the photographer Martin Broen about how it was achieved. I usually try to pick an image here that I know there’s absolutely no chance I would be able to take myself – I’m pretty sure very few people could recreate such a shot in this instance.
