Mexican beach photo wins smartphone contest

An image of a boy selling candyfloss on Tijuana beach in Mexico has won the Saatchi Gallery’s smartphone photography competition.

Paola Ismene’s photo was selected from more than 9,000 entries in the #selfexpression competition.

The competition was launched off the back of the London gallery’s From Selfie to Self-Expression exhibition, which closes on Tuesday.

Ismene’s prize is a solo exhibition at the Saatchi, off London’s King’s Road.

Ismene said she was “truly grateful for being selected… because it’s a great platform to expose the work of emerging photographers”.

“Mobile photography has allowed me to capture countless images in my everyday life,” the Mexico City resident continued.

From Selfie to Self-Expression features traditional self-portraits from the likes of Van Gogh and Rembrandt alongside more modern examples.

These include a selfie taken by Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former Prime Minister David Cameron.
