What's in the issue

In our Review of the Year special, we reflect on the past 12 months: the best kit, the images of the year, best books, and readers’ best buys of 2025. We also update a feature from our millennium issue 25 years ago in which we asked a panel of experts to choose their top ten greatest photographers. It’s all subjective, of course, but fascinating to see which names floated to the top. Plus, we reveal the stunning winners of APOY Round 7, Animal Kingdom, and much more. Merry Christmas!
