We've been to the Travel Photographer of the Year exhibition for the last three years and been impressed by the quality of breadth of imagery on display every time.

This is coupled with compelling stories such as the sheer number of Chinese people cooling off in a swimming pool, to the point that the water is no longer visible.

We were particularly impressed with the runner up of the young travel photographer of the year, Jonathan Rystrom. He beautifully captures Tokyo and the smartphone obsessed natives as they can't be separated from their screens, even in pouring rain.
