2020 iPhone Photography Award Winners Once Again Proved That Striking Photos Can Be Taken Without An Expensive Camera (45 Pics)

You don’t have to buy the most expensive gear in order to be an exceptional photographer—sometimes, all you need is an iPhone… and talent. And here’s proof.

iPhone Photography Awards (also known as IPPAWARDS) is the first and the longest-running iPhone photography competition since 2007. Every year, this competition gives awards to the most spectacular photos taken on an iPhone or iPad. If you want to enter the competition, your photos should not be published anywhere previously and should not be edited on any desktop image processing program such as Photoshop. And that’s basically it.

Recently, iPhone Photography Awards announced the winners of their 2020 competition and the photos are absolutely stunning. Bored Panda invites you to take a look and choose your favorites.
