Marsel van Oosten har vunnet Travel Photographer of the Year awards 2015. Det var med to ulike sort/hvitt-serier den nederlandske fotografen utmerket seg. Den ene serien er skutt i Lousiana, mens den andre er av pelikaner i Namibia. Juryen skriver dette om de to seriene:
"These two portfolios require very different skills to shoot but both are elegant, beautifully composed and show wonderful use of light. The first portfolio of the cypress trees in the Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana, USA, is subtle and textural contrasting with the strong, punchy, graphic style of the portfolio of great white pelicans, shot on a boat in the Atlantic Ocean near Walvis Bay, Namibia. The detail in both portfolios enhances the images and the contrasting styles."
Marsel van Oosten er en profesjonell naturfotograf som er kjent for sin grafiske tilnærming til komposisjon. Han forsøker alltid å gjøre bildene sin så "rene" som mulig: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". Han har stilt ut på anerkjente museer og gallerier, og er fast bidragsyter i National Geographic.
I årets utgave av konkurransen kom det inn bidrag fra fotografer i 110 land, og fotografer fra 22 land ble premiert.
