Apple’s iconic Shot on iPhone campaign celebrates photography captured with the devices we carry every day. As technology advances, these cameras are no exception. One of the recent introductions to the wide range of iPhone camera features is macro photography. With this new camera feature, Apple held a call for submissions to demonstrate the possibilities of macro photography. I had the honor of being one of the challenge winners—and Apple shared my image with the world.

My winning photo features a detailed close-up of a Fiddle Leaf. Taken in my apartment, the sun shone on the backs of the leaves during golden hour, illuminating every cell. While my original submission included a version with some small edits, the photo used by Apple (and pictured here) in their post, on their website, and on their billboard was the completely unedited original.

Apple put up the iconic Shot on iPhone billboards worldwide. Seeing my image on such a large scale was truly humbling. I never would have expected my photo to be recognized in such an immense way.
