The winners and highlights from Historic Photographer of the Year 2022
Sam Binding / Historic Photographer Of The Year
WINNER: HISTORIC ENGLAND ‘Glastonbury Tor’ Sam Binding
“Steeped in legend, Glastonbury Tor is an incredible location to photograph. Sitting on an island in the Somerset Levels, the Tor stands out for miles around. The low-lying levels are prone to mist, and so with a good forecast, I headed out very early that morning. When I arrived, I was in for a very nice surprise. As the sun rose up, a wave of mist swept over the top of the Tor, creating an incredibly ethereal scene.”
Scott MacKintyre / Historic Photographer Of The Year
‘SS Carbon, Compton Bay, Isle of Wight’ Scott MacKintyre
“This photograph shows the shipwreck of SS Carbon, a British Admiralty steam tug of 185 tons built in 1896. Running aground in 1947, she has now been a shipwreck for over 75 years. If you’re planning on visiting, this wreck is best seen and photographed at the lowest tide of the year.”
