It’s easy to assume that to become a great photographer, first, you need to invest in a professional, and often expensive, camera. In reality, however, most people already have everything they need to snap a winning photo - a smartphone.
The Mobile Photography Awards (MPAs) have recently announced the winners and runner-ups for their 10th annual competition. Over 5,700 photographers from 75 countries submitted their work this year. The range of categories includes Transportation, Street Phonography, and black and white photography, to name a few. We can’t deny that these photographs are as thought-provoking and poignant as they are aesthetically pleasing, take a look.
To learn more about the competition and see more entries, you can visit the MPA website or Instagram page.
