Photographer of the Year 2025 – cast your vote!

If you’ve spent any time on PistonHeads this year (so… all of us), you’ll know our auction listings have reached exceptional levels of polish. What started as a way to showcase the metal has become a full-blown gallery of automotive temptation – the kind you definitely shouldn’t be scrolling at work. Blame our photographers. They keep making the cars look this good.

Across 2025, they’ve delivered thousands of meticulously shot images: crisp details, perfect light, moody settings, while capturing closeups of any scratches and scrapes to give you the confidence to bid from the comfort of your sofa. Buyers get 150+ pro-grade images they can trust are a fair representation of the car’s condition. Sellers get a set of photos worthy of framing. Everyone wins.

What you won’t find on PistonHeads auctions? Wonky driveway snaps, wheelie bins, or a thumb making an unscheduled cameo. Our nationwide network of shooters are proper pros – the sort who can make a damp car park look like a Bond set.

Which brings us to the 2025 Auction Photographer of the Year awards. This year’s nominations are in, and once again, the standard is absurdly high. Now it’s your turn to decide who takes the crown.

You’ve got until midnight December 15th to cast your vote. Here’s the shortlist for 2025:

And the best bit? By voting, you get a chance to win a professional photo shoot worth £175 with one of our photographers. Whether you use it towards an upcoming auction with PistonHeads or you just fancy a stunning set of photos of your pride and joy, it’s entirely up to you how you use it.

Finally, a huge thank you to every one of our snappers: you’ve raised the bar yet again. Now over to the PH community – who’s your Photographer of the Year? Place your vote here.
