The 2025 Monovisions Photography Awards honored the emotional depth and timeless elegance of black-and-white photography, with 20 standout travel images that captured culture, history, and human connection across the globe.

Stripped of color, each image reveals subtle yet profound details, inviting viewers into moments of stillness, motion, and meaning.
