Architecture MasterPrize has revealed the winners of its 2025 Architecture Photography MasterPrize. The international awards program honors both exterior and interior photography, with the 2025 edition bringing forward “compelling perspectives on buildings, cities, landscapes, and interior spaces, revealing the rich visual language of the built environment,” according to organizers.
The top honors for the 2025 edition went to Shoayb Khattab, United Arab Emirates, for Exterior Architecture Photography of the Year, and Ng Chi Ho Gary, Hong Kong, for Interior Architecture Photography of the Year. “These distinctions honor photographers whose images present architecture with remarkable artistry, revealing relationships between structure, light, texture, and context in a way that deepens the viewer’s understanding of the built world,” organizers added.
