30 Photos Snapped With A Smartphone That Won The Annual Mobile Photography Awards

In order to take a good photo, people think they need an expensive camera, and after that, they think they need an even more expensive lens, and so forth. In reality, all you need is your phone, and a mix of imagination and skills. And the result is sometimes even better than the results with expensive gear. This effect is called toolbox fallacy: the gist of it is that in order to do something, people mistakenly think that they need a list of tools to do it, when in fact, anything minimal might suffice.

The annual Mobile Photography Awards (MPA) organizers have announced the winners and runners-up of their 10th annual competition. MPA is the longest-running international competition that recognizes and rewards photography captured on mobile phones or tablets.

Over 5,700 images were submitted from 75 countries. Participants entered their work into a broad range of 20 categories including Photo Essays, Transportation, Street Photography, Photojournalism, Black & White, and Digital Fine Art, among others.
