Apple just announced this year’s winners of their annual iPhone Photography Contest. For the last six years the competition has gathered the best photos from around the planet captured with just an iPhone. Think they’re just blurry captures and silly selfies? Nope. The photos in this competition will make even the most seasoned photographer swoon. And the best part is you, too, can reach the photographic heights of these winners with the exact same smart phone that’s most likely sitting in your pocket right now.
Even with a smart phone, taking an amazing photo may be closer to reality than you think. Thinking about composition, lines, framing, color, and symmetry may seem like a lot, but there are a myriad of online resources for upping anyone’s smart phone photography game. Artistic brilliance may be easier today than ever before as the technical and financial barriers to quality photography dwindle with every new generation of mobile phone released on the consumer market.
So, the question is — what are you waiting for? With some practice you could make the cut next year.
Here are some of the of this year’s iPhone Photography Awards best photographs.
