The Ocean Photographer of the Year Overall Winner, Yury Ivanov
Oceanographic Magazine has announced the winners of the 2025 edition of the Ocean Photographer of the Year competition—and it’s another stunning collection of images showcasing the beauty beneath (and above) the waves. This year’s overall winner—the “Ocean Photographer of the Year”—is Yury Ivanov. His beautiful shot of a pair of amphipods hanging out on some coral isn’t only technically very challenging, but also rather unusual—these “ladybugs of the sea,” measuring just 3mm in length, are not photo subjects that typically attract awards.
The winners of the other nine awards were equally deserving. They included Marcia Riederer, who was crowned “Fine Art Photographer of the Year” for the same elegant dwarf minke that recently took Gold in the Australian category of the Underwater Awards Australasia; and Takumi Oyama, who earned the title “Wildlife Photographer of the Year” for his fantastic behavior shot of a yellow pygmy goby releasing newly hatched larvae into the water column from her mouth. We were particularly excited to see DPG’s own Matt Sullivan clinch the “Ocean Portfolio Award” for a breathtaking collection of 10 images—some of which you may well recognize from Matt’s recent articles.
Head over to the winners gallery on the Oceangeographic Magazine website to see all the recognized photos. Congratulations to all the worthy winners and runners-up!
