A baby chimp rescue, a leopard on the prowl, Norway s epic coastline and the touching bond between a beluga whale and a fisherman.
These are some of the subjects in images taken by photographers who have been given finalist and shortlisted status in the professional category of the 2021 Sony World Photography Awards.
The photographers who took them are clearly at the very top of their game, having been picked out from more than 145,000 pictures entered into the professional competition s 10 categories.
Commenting about this year s now-revealed finalists and shortlist, Mike Trow, independent curator and photo editor and Chair of the Jury, said: The integrity, intentionality and considered edits presented in this year s projects stirred up debate and genuine appreciation among the jury.
