The winners of the 12th International iPhone Photography Awards 2019 competition have been announced in New York. The jury selected the best of thousands of photographers who sent their work from more than 140 countries. Among the winners are three photographers from Russia, including in the main nomination — "Photographer of the Year".
The contest, which is also called the "Oscar in Mobile Photography", is attended only by those shots that were taken on an iPhone or iPad. But despite the fact that all these pictures belong to mobile photography, they still impress with their splendor.
It is worth noting that an important condition for all participants' pictures is that they cannot be changed in photo editors, although it is allowed to use mobile applications and additional lenses to improve the image.
The Grand Prix of the competition went to the Italian Gabriella Cigliano (Gabriella Cigliano) for the work "Big Sister". Honorary first, second and third places were awarded to Diogo Lage from Portugal, Yulia Ibraeva from Russia and Pend Hao from China.
