"The Mind’s Eye" - Discover the Top 40 Stunning Images Chosen For 2023 All About Photo Magazine Awards
Our world is an amazing place
Some photo awards feel like a slideshow, but “The Mind’s Eye” plays more like a case file. These are the Top 40 stunning images chosen for 2023 All About Photo magazine awards, and every frame looks like it has a backstory you can’t unsee.
One image drops you into exhaustion, like “Fatigue Sleep On The Boats” by Muhammad Amdad Hossain, while another drags you into grief with “Funeral” from the series “Desolation” by Alejandro Martinez Velez. Then there are the moments that hit differently because they’re personal, like “Curious Baby” by Pedro Jarque Krebs, “Bath Time” by Wendy Stone, and “Gun Safety Participants, Choppa Community Gun Range” by Matthiew Mcclain, where everyday life and danger sit in the same frame.
By the time you reach “Sinking Sundarbans” by Supratim Bhattacharjee, you realize this list isn’t just beautiful, it’s impossible to look away from.

Before you even get to “Sinking Sundarbans,” “Before Migration” by Tommaso Vecchi sets the tone, like the whole gallery is already on the move.
Then “Becoming Wheelchair Bound” by Whitney Dafoe and “Charley” from “The Lost Years” by Laurie Freitag make it clear these aren’t random scenes, they’re lives caught mid-turn.
Right when the mood shifts, “Covid-19” by Priyo Widdi and “Drying T-Shirt Clothes” by Azim Khan Ronnie pull you into the kind of quiet hardship that spreads fast.
And once you land on “War, Irak 2003” by Baptiste Hugnet and “Hyena Men” by Mauro De Bettio, the list stops feeling like art and starts feeling like evidence.

40. Photographer Of The Year 2023: The Winning Shoot By Priyo Widd
The victorious photograph, captured by Priyo Widiyanto of Indonesia, showcases the fervor of a critical moment in a match featuring the Indonesian National Wheelchair Basketball Team. The decisive, game-winning throw is on the verge of being executed.
The dynamic frame, in which the photographer halts the action, displays two adversaries lifting their wheelchairs with tremendous strength, mirroring one another in an effort to thwart the shot. This striking image epitomizes indomitable resilience.
