Take a look at all the spectactular winners of the 2022 Mobile Photography Awards

With its magnificent splurge of oranges, pinks, reds and greens, there’s a real sense of joy in the above photograph. Taken by Azim Khan Ronnie, it captures an Indian ‘festival of colours’ (otherwise known as Holi) in all its vibrant and energetic splendour.

Most impressive of all, the photo was taken on a Huawei Nova2i, a smartphone, absolutely putting our dodgy iPhone holiday snaps to shame. As do all of the winners of the 11th Mobile Photography Awards, in fact. Every year, the MPA selects finest photographs shot around the world taken on phones or tablets. This year’s edition celebrates the best mobile photography of 2021 – below are some of our faves from the category winners, including…

This pristine close-up of a bumble bee

 A satisfyingly sharp bedside table

A calm beach scene

This shadowy masterpiece

 This hazy waterfall

 This magnificently angled street/triangular hat combo

 This Wes Anderson-esque snap of an observatory

And this supremely well-timed shadow shot...
