Corkman wins prestigious international photo award

A Corkman’s picture of a dock worker’s hands has been hailed as one of the best pictures taken on an iPhone anywhere in the world this year.

Brendan Ó Sé, who is an English language teacher at UCC, took first prize in the Photographer of the Year category at the iPhone Photography Awards — beating off competition from thousands of other images shot on the phone from all over the world.

Mr Ó Sé, shot the image with an iPhone 6S and said he took it on an early morning walk in Jakarta in Indonesia last year
