The Slovenian photographer AndreJa Ravnak has won the overall competition to become Travel Photographer of the Year 2023.

Ravnak's work illustrates hop growing in Slovenia, and rolling fields in Italy and the Czech Republic.

This comes through in both of AndreJa's winning portfolios; one takes us into simple landscapes, with delicate colours and a textural beauty, the other into the hop fields, out of season and undressed, ready for the next planting," says competition founder Chris Coe.

"Neither are obvious subjects, neither photographed at an optimal time of year, and yet they are both engaging and rather beautiful."
