With a lot of people walking around with an 8 megapixel camera embedded into their smart phone, it’s easy to think you’re something of an Annie Leibovitz or a Mario Testino.
Or at least try to be.
Now 54 people are being recognized for the photography skills they have managed photographers behind their iPhones.
Now in its seventh year, the iPhone Photography Awards (IPP AWARDS) have selected finalists from 17 countries – Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the United States.
Thousands of submissions are sent in every year and winners of three separate categories are selected by a jury, and it costs $3.50 to submit a photo. The finalists that were selected represent the best of different categories, such as architecture, art, flowers, children and, ofcourse, food.
