Indian amateur photographer Sharan Shetty on Thursday won 'First Place Photographer of the Year' at the annual iPhone Photography Awards (IPPAWARDS) for his image titled 'Bonding, where a man and his horse commune in an empty landscape, offering each other comfort and soft words.
Shetty started off by clicking landscapes and later moved to photographing portraits.

"Humans, their behaviour, culture and connection with nature are what have been inspiring me lately. The winning photograph is close to my heart and I hoped it would at least get a mention somewhere. It is a proud moment for me," Shetty told .Regarding his winning photo that was shot on iPhone X in Baku, Azerbaijan, he said: "What caught my attention was the man's connection with his horse. Both were tired walking up the mountain and both decided to rest. While they did that, they both had a moment. The connection between a man and his best friend was so apparent".
"It looked like they were supporting and consoling each other. I chose this particular photo because it brings out the bond shared by both so beautifully. Hence the name 'Bonding,'" he added.
