The International Landscape Photographer just unveiled the final shortlist of the best photographs taken in 2018. The contest unites photographers from all over the world, passionated by nature and wildlife, specialized in landscape photography but most of all, careful about the environmental issue. These cliches show all the variety of point of view, highlighting different approaches and techniques to photography, sometimes more spontaneous and sometimes more artistically retouched. However, all the images make us reflect about the fragile beauty of our planet and the climate emergency. The great winner of this edition is the Canadian Adam Gibbs, who offer us incredible shoots of Canadian forest with no post-production effects. His photographs are naturally stunning and are full of a spiritual atmosphere, showing all the love this reporter has for the environment of his region.
