"Celebrating the teeny tiny details most people overlook, the Close-up
Photographer of the Year (CUPOTY) competition, devoted to macro and micro
photography, has selected this year’s winners from nearly 12,000 entries from
67 countries.
Established in 2018 by photojournalists Tracy and Dan Calder, the Close-up
Photographer of the Year is an annual competition made in collaboration with
Affinity Photo.
Photographers competed in the following 11 categories: Animals, Insects,
Butterflies & Dragonflies, Invertebrate Portrait, Underwater, Plants, Fungi &
Slime Moulds, Intimate Landscape, Human Made, Micro (for images created using a
microscope) and Young Close-up Photographer of the Year (for entrants aged 17
or under.)
Hungarian photographer Csaba Daróczi has been awarded the title of Close-up
Photographer of the Year for his mesmerising shot of a Eurasian nuthatch bird
in flight, taken from within the confines of a hollowed-out tree stump."
