1st Place Winner: “Riders of the Volcano” by Mahendra Bakle
The 2025 Monovisions Photography Awards honored the emotional depth and timeless elegance of black-and-white photography, with 20 standout travel images that captured culture, history, and human connection across the globe.
These photographs go beyond documentation, using light, shadow, and composition to tell powerful stories that resonate across borders. Stripped of color, each image reveals subtle yet profound details, inviting viewers into moments of stillness, motion, and meaning. In a visually saturated world, these monochrome masterpieces remind us that true artistry lies in simplicity and the ability to see with fresh eyes.
