A 17ft great white shark, a cannibal croc and an electrifying volcanic eruption: The stunning winning images in a prestigious photo contest revealed

Get a close-up view of a 17ft (5m) great white shark or see the steam wafting from a giant cauldron of noodles courtesy of these amazing photographs. 

All winners and runners-up in the prestigious 2020 Photo Is Light World Photography Contest, the photos fit into categories including architecture, landscape, nature and people. 

Francisco Negroni was named the competition’s overall winner thanks to an electrifying photo showing a lightning-enveloped 2015 eruption of Calbuco volcano in Chile’s lake region. 

He said he has been photographing volcanoes since 2008, with ‘long exposure skills and geographic knowledge’ key to achieving such shots. 

But he added: ‘I do not recommend taking pictures of volcanic eruptions. It is very dangerous. But if you still want to try, I would say stay as far away and as safe as possible. Nowadays, with [powerful] lenses and cameras you don’t need to be so near.’

Other images poured in from around the world, from the Shetland Islands in the UK to the bright lights of Dubai and from the coast of Ibiza to the croc-infested waters of the Nile. Scroll down to see some of the highlights…
