Indian Photographer Wins Big Award For Best Portrait With Budget iPhone

Despite the device's lack of advanced features, Kalwari's photo earned third place in the portrait category.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but with today's cutting-edge cameras, that thousand could easily turn into a million. The right lens, the perfect exposure, and a touch of digital magic can transform a snapshot into a masterpiece. But recently, an Indian photographer shot an award-winning image using the cheapest Apple iPhone that sells in India.

The image titled "The Gaddi Boy and His Goat" was shot in Burwa, Himachal Pradesh, by Manush Kalwari, and it has secured the Best of the iPhone Photography Award in 2024.
