As always, an inspiring and insightful few days at Summit Photo 2026 held at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) in London.

The image that changes minds. The photograph that shifts policy. These are the questions at the heart of Summit Photo — the Royal Geographical Society's annual event dedicated to the transformative power of visual storytelling.

We are honoured to be advising on this year’s judging committee for the Shackleton Medal for the Protection of the Polar Regions, established by Shackleton.
