Winners of the 14th Contest Announced
The winning works of the 14th competition of the “iPhone Photography Awards”, a photo contest limited to photos taken with iPhone, which has been held every year since 2007, were announced on July 22, local time.
The 2021 Grand Prix was won by Hungarian photojournalist Isvan Kalekas) on his iPhone 7, “Transylvanian Shepherds.” The contrast between the desolate land, the two men standing with a rugged expression, and the lamb held by them is impressive.
The Best Photographer of the Year was won by Sharan Shetty of India for “Bonding” shot on iPhone X. The exquisite sense of distance that shows the relationship of trust between men and horses is eye-catching.
Second place was given to “A Walk on Mars” shot by Mr. Dan Liu of China with iPhone 11 Pro Max. The photo was taken in Qinghai Province, China.
“Side-Walking on Air,” shot on iPhone X by Jeff Reiner of the United States, who won third place, captures a girl wearing a mask and floating in the air in the light.
The iPhone Photography Awards also feature award-winning works in 17 categories, including abstract works, animals, architecture, children, urban life, the environment, landscapes, and lifestyles.
Unfortunately, there were no prize-winning works from Japan in 2021.
Last year, the work shot with iPhone 4 won the Grand Prix.
