David Craikb
David is a UK-based photographer, who believes “the only restriction on a photographer is the photographer’s own imagination” his philosophy “shines through in his photo of Starlings that had come to snatch the crumbs off his table at a coastal café in the United Kingdom.” While a photo of birds may seem ordinary, the compelling image Craik created is astonishingly unique. “After the first bird landed and I saw the shadow on the white wall behind it,” he explained, “I knew this was a great image to be captured. Now it was just a case of operating the iPhone properly and finding the best composition.” David used the Burst mode feature on his iPhone to capture this stunning image.
Michal Koralewski
Michal is a street photographer from Poland. Michal says he “tries to pick up inspiration every he goes” by keeping “his eyes open and ready to find the next captivating image.” For his winning photo, Michal says he came across one of those moments as he strolled through a market square in Warsaw and spotted an accordionist playing traditional Polish songs. As soon as he saw the bearded musician, he knew he had to take the photo with his iPhone.
