Photos of the Week: A 2025 Favorites Gallery

Compiled by Art Keene

Last year, we published 224 photos that were contributed by our readers over the course of the year. This week we offer a gallery of 16 of our favorite Photo of the Week photos from the past year. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of the photographers who shared their work with the Indy this year and encourage them to keep it coming in 2026. The photos that follow are roughly in chronological order.

Look here for our favorites from 2024, here for our favorites from 2023, here for our favorites from 2022 gallery and here for our 2021 favorites.

Our feature, Photo of the Week, presents each week, a new picture by a local photographer. We invite local photographers to share their photographs here. Please include a description/caption and an indication of who is to be credited.
