Picture perfect: The stunning Tokyo skyline shot which won coveted 'Landscape Photographer' prize

A wedding photographer is celebrating after this awe-inspiring picture of the Tokyo skyline won him a Landscape photographer of the year prize.

Kevin Mullins, 40, captured the stunning shot from the top of the city's Sky Tree Tower, 2,142ft (653m) above the Japanese capital.

He entered the picture into The Societies' Landscape Photography award, and beat thousands to the prize.

Kevin, from Malmesbury, Wiltshire, said: "We went up there in the afternoon, waiting for dusk to get the right light.

"There was rain and clouds and it was a great opportunity and I managed to get the right shot.

"I am more of a social photographer, doing weddings and portraits but I thought I would enter into the competition.
"There were around 13,000 entrants in the various categories and when I was told I was down to the final six or seven I was pleased.

"I didn't think I had a chance so I was shocked when I won."

More than 13,000 people took part in The Societies' annual competition, with Kevin picking up a trophy and £1,000 in equipment.

The Societies is the largest professional body of photographers in the UK.
