For the 12th year in a raw, iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) has selected the best iPhone photographers of the year. We may argue forever (and we probably will) if gear matters or not. But these photos show us a fact that remains true: no matter what gear you use, you still need talent and knowledge to capture a great photo.
(IPPAWARDS) is the first and longest-running iPhone photography competition. It was founded in 2007, with a goal to celebrate the creativity of iPhone photographers worldwide. For twelve years now, IPPAWARDS has selected the best shots among thousands of images submitted by iPhone photographers from more than 140 countries around the world.
The jury selects Photographers of the Year, as well as winners in as many as 18 categories, including a photo series. We’re bringing you the best of the best, and I hope you’ll enjoy the photos as much as I did. But more importantly, I hope that they’ll remind you of the familiar saying that the best camera is the one you have with you.
