Do you have to use professional equipment to take amazing photos? If you are a photography fan, you must have heard of it, or even participated in the Sony World Photography Awards Big prize.
This year’s Sony World Photography Awards added a new mobile photography category for the first time to the professional, open, and youth categories. Since this adjustment allows the acceptance of photographic works completed by a device that most people own - mobile phones, the number of submitted works exceeded 10,000 in a short period of time. The jury will select 20 shortlisted photos, and then conduct online voting to select the winning photos. If I didn’t tell you, could you tell that these pictures were actually captured with ordinary mobile phones?
Champion
Turi Calafato(Italy)
This work was taken by the photographer in Sicily in July last year. It is one of the photos in his "A Day on the Beach" photography series. Turi said that this kind of picture is actually very common in the local area, and many people They all love to stay on the beach all day long to relax, entertain, and even eat and drink. The mobile phone category participating in the Sony Photography Awards received a total of 6,718 votes.
Runner up
Janos M Schmidt(Hungary)
The scene in the photo was taken at Nyugati Railway Station in Budapest. At sunset, a man was checking the timetable. At that time, a train carrying Hungarian fans to Bucharest to watch a football match (Romania vs. Hungary) had just left. The station in the picture looks filled with smoke, but this is actually caused by the fireworks that the fans set off before leaving.
