Entries of the Week: From Tiny Creatures to Towering Castles

1 week ago
From a tiny flying squirrel nestled among frosty branches to a dramatic splash in the swimming pool, this week's Entries of the Week brings together ten photographs full of character, contrast and unexpected perspectives.

Our latest Entries of the Week selection from the Sony World Photography Awards 2027 Single Image competition moves from quiet landscapes to bustling streets.

Leo Li’s solitary tree dissolves into mist. João Flambó transforms Montalegre Castle into an otherworldly scene using infrared tonal contrasts, and Sussi Charlotte Alminde captures interplays of light and shadow beneath a modern structure.

Felippe Emidio Dias Luque freezes an explosion of water around a swimmer. In Spain, Charles Laborne photographs a young matador in a striking black-and-white portrait, while Camila Carrera captures a blurred, horned figure in motion.

On Hokkaido’s coldest morning, Hiroki Takahashi photographs an Ezo flying squirrel feeding among frost-covered branches against a backdrop of a prismatic rainbow. Lado Gulordava frames an inquisitive calf. In Myanmar, Aung Chan Thar captures an elderly craftsman carving enormous stone Buddha statues in a smoky workshop, and Chin Boon Leng photographs a narrow market alley where sunlight illuminates a local carrying a basket past stone sculptures.
