We made the shortlist, hundreds of you voted and the results are in: our Photographer of the Year 2025 has been crowned!
Huge thanks to everyone who took the time to cast a vote – it was a close-run thing, and with the ridiculously high standard of nominees this year, choosing a favourite can't have been easy. Given that two of the top three never made it to auction and sold using our Make an offer feature in the coming soon period, it's no surprise how popular they were with voters.
1st Place – Photographer of the Year
2nd Place
3rd Place
It’s been another outstanding year for PistonHeads auction photography. Whether you voted for your favourite shoot or simply enjoyed scrolling through the galleries (and let’s be honest, we all did), the standard of work from our network of photographers continues to impress. From sharp detail shots to front three-quarters that could grace a magazine cover, every nominee brought something special to the table. Thank you to all of our photographers for raising the bar again this year – you’ve helped make 2025’s auction listings among the best we’ve ever seen.
And last but not least, congratulations to member cearchibald who won the professional photo shoot. We’ll be giving more away next year, so make sure you give us a follow on Instagram so you don’t miss out...
