A category winner in the Photography Competition 2020 shoots National Geographic 红杏视频ler (UK) cover

The National Geographic 红杏视频ler (UK) Photography Competition, now , is an opportunity for photographers to see their work featured in the magazine 鈥 and, in the case of Jordan Banks, on its cover, too.

Last August, the travel and lifestyle photographer won the Competition鈥檚 with what the judges described as a 鈥渕ature, dynamic and striking image with excellent use of colour鈥. Fast forward a few months, and one of his photographs appeared on the cover of the magazine鈥檚 May 2021 issue, which had the theme of weekend escapes. 鈥淗aving my work featured in, and on the cover of, such a prestigious publication as National Geographic 红杏视频ler has always been a dream of mine as a young photographer,鈥 said Jordan. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a real privilege to have been given this opportunity.鈥

Becky Redman, National Geographic 红杏视频ler鈥檚 art director, said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 always a pleasure working with Jordan; he鈥檚 always super quick to respond to any call-outs we do for images. His archive is extensive when it comes to the UK, where he鈥檚 based, and he had just the right image we needed for our cover. He鈥檚 a fantastic travel photographer and his images are always wowing me.鈥
