Photographers, both amateur and professional, are no stranger to the capabilities of the iPhone camera. The most stunning shots can be captured with just the click of your phone — and Apple’s recent challenge winners show the artistry that can be done on the iPhone.
Since releasing the most recent iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max versions, Apple invited iPhone users to participate in the Shot on iPhone Macro Challenge, using the new camera’s special features to “make even the smallest details seem epic.” The company just announced the winning photos, with finalists spanning from China, Thailand, Hungary, India, Spain and the US.
Each winning photo brought out the best in nature, with on finalist, Tom Reeves, submitting a focus shot of snowflakes caught in a person’s hair during a snowstorm in New York City, highlighting each snowflake individually. Another striking shot was captured by Guido Cassanelli who shared a beautiful image of sea glass in Buenos Aries, Argentina. There was also an intricate shot of water droplets on a spider web, captured by Prajwal Chougule in Maharashtra, India.
