These are the winners of this year’s iPhone photography awards

Here comes a new edition of “Yes, those were taken with an iPhone“. Although it seems incredible, these stunning shots were taking using mobile phone cameras. Everyone is familiar with taking photos with a smartphone, but achieving this level of photography mastery is not something at the reach of all human beings.

These are some of the winners and honorable mentions for the 2016 edition of the contest. Participants from all over the world entered to win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place for the 19 categories awarded to photographers from countries all around the world: Australia, China, Spain, Italy, India, Poland, Switzerland, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, UK, USA and Hong Kong, amongst others.

Siyuan Niu, from China, obtained the Grand Prize and was given the Photographer of the Year award. His photograph, ‘Man and the Eagle’, represents the relationship between Khalkhas living in the mountains and eagles. They see them as if they were their children, and train them in hunting for many years.
