Derry Ainsworth has officially been named the Architecture Photographer of the Year at the 2026 European Photography Awards. The professional photographer secured an astonishing 12 awards at this year's prestigious event.

To photograph Antoni Gaudí’s Basílica de la Sagrada Família is to engage in a dynamic dialogue with form, texture, space, and spectacle. Arriving in Barcelona in June 2026, my creative mission was to move entirely past predictable tourist angles and document this historic space through an architectural lens focused on unique angles, human experience and textures.
