PARIS, FRANCE –
Media OutReach Newswire – 17 November 2025 – Huawei and Paris Photo mark their third year of collaboration with the announcement of the 2025 XMAGE Awards winners, selected from more than 743,000 submissions across 78 countries.
Amid the bustle of Paris Photo, HUAWEI unveiled the 100 outstanding works chosen for the XMAGE Awards, with three receiving the prestigious XMAGE 100 Grand Prize.
One of the winning images,
“Ethereal Lines” by Romanian pharmacist and photographer
Gheorge Popa, was captured using the
HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra. The photograph showcases the striking and naturally vivid colours of
Geamăna Lake in Transylvania, a village overtaken by mining waste nearly half a century ago.
“It was a very foggy morning, and I couldn’t fly my drone,” Popa explained. “I had my phone and found these patterns near the shore. I didn’t expect to be a winner, but I’m really happy.”
Another Grand Prize winner,
“Origin of Skiing” by architect and photographer
AC Chen Guanhong, features a young girl from Altay, China. The portrait highlights the region’s heritage as the birthplace of skiing and reflects pride in its cultural traditions.
“It’s a great honour to show my work here,” Chen shared. “Using a phone is easier and lighter, and it lets people feel more relaxed in front of the camera.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and XMAGE 100 jury member
Liu Heung Shing commended the quality of the submissions, noting: “You can see the trust established between photographer and subject. The standard of mobile photography has advanced remarkably.”
The 2025 HUAWEI XMAGE Awards exhibition at Paris Photo celebrates global creativity and the evolution of mobile imaging technology, demonstrating how photography continues to connect people and stories around the world.
