‘It was a real carnival of the senses’: Shamil Tanna’s best phone picture

‘There’s a slight voyeuristic quality to using a phone to take pictures,” Shamil Tanna says. The London-based photographer was in Menorca last summer for Fiestas de Sant Lluìs, a series of events “revolving around the island’s purebred horses and traditional Menorcan dressage”.

“I was staying on the island for a while and was keen to shoot some personal projects,” he says. “I’d just replaced my old phone and the festivities provided a good opportunity to try the new model out. It was super-busy, full of people, horses, parades and music – a real carnival of the senses.”
