While Portrait Mode has fooled plenty of us into thinking we have the photography chops to turn professional, the top picks from Apple’s photography competition, Shot on iPhone, provide the reality check needed to put us in our place. From epic shots of dramatic landscapes to the beauty of the urban pileup, the range of winning photographs selected represents every corner of the globe. Chosen by a panel of experts including Austin Mann, Annet de Graaf, Luisa Dorr, Sebastien Marineau-Mes, and Jon McCormack, the winning images are a testament to both the photographers’ techniques and the capture available on the iPhone.
Used in ads by Apple to sell the power of the new iPhone’s camera, an array of images have hit billboards over the world – with photographers being eventually paid for their works amid some controversy. Think you could do better? Check out the chosen top ten below.
