Spectacular Award-Winning Macro Photos from the 2025 Mobile Photography Awards

1st Place Winner: “Assassin Fly” by Linda Repasky

Mobile phones proved their artistic power with these stunning macro shots from the 14th Annual Mobile Photography Awards.

These images transform tiny details into breathtaking visuals, from surreal everyday moments to crisp textures that seem almost unreal. Each frame tells a story, whether it’s the glowing eyes of an insect or the delicate design of a flower petal. The photographers achieved this by patiently chasing light, angles, and timing, turning small wonders into monumental art. Together, these winning photos remind us that creativity doesn’t require expensive gear—just curiosity, good light, and a phone in hand.
