Chandigarh, August 23
Images are the best way of storytelling. And this one is simple, says a million words, and that too without any sophistication.
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.
The best part was the photographer did not use the right lens, perfect exposure or digital trick for his masterpiece. The winning image was shot by Manush Kalwari using the cheapest Apple iPhone that sells in India.
