Matthew Cattell has been named Landscape Photographer of the Year 2016 for his striking image of Brighton Pier.
Cattell’s image, Starling Vortex, captures Brighton Pier amid a swirling flock of starlings, giving an abstract feel to an oft-photographed scene.
Now in its 10th year, the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2016 competition will exhibit its winners in a free exhibition at Waterloo Station in London from 21 November.
As the overall winner, Cattell will receive £10,000 and have his image published along with all the other shortlisted and commended images published in the Landscape Photographer of the Year: Collection 10 book.
The exhibition, sponsored by Network Rail, will run for 11 weeks and close on 5 February 2017.
