Photography News 2025 Awards

For a whole decade, Photography News has been putting the power in your hands to crown the best in the business. While other industry awards are decided behind closed doors, ours have always been shaped entirely by the people who matter most – you, our readers. That’s why a victory in these awards really matters.

This is your chance to give a vote of confidence to the brands, products and services that make your photography special. To really celebrate and say thanks to the hardware, software and services that make a difference to your photographic life.

Here’s how it works. In categories spanning every corner of modern imaging – cameras, lenses, lighting, accessories, workflow, retailers and services – the PN team shortlists standout contenders. These are products we have first-hand experience with, that have set new technological milestones or been praised by readers, experienced photographers and testers. Then it’s up to you to choose the champions.

To mark the changing landscape of image making, we’re taking this chance to change some categories around, merge others together and add new ones. These include best analogue camera – to recognise the resurgence in film – and best camera for content creation.

So browse the list, pick out your favourites and cast your votes in our simple survey. You don’t have to vote in every category, just the ones in which you have an opinion, expertise or experience.

Ten years in, and your voice matters more than ever – let’s make this anniversary one to remember!

All votes must be received by 19 November 2025. Get picking!
