As long time readers will know, I make my living from shooting and selling stock library images. Below are some samples of what I take shot on iphones.
- The weight and size are much easier on my back, which has become painful after years of carrying around heavy camera systems.
- When you compare ny iPHONE 17 Pro Max to the cost of a similar camera / lens combination the iPHONE has a serious cost benefit.
- Few people take any notice of me when I use my iPHONE, since I'm just like everybody else.
- Apple have now got their 48MP images to an incredible quality level.
- This even includes some great results in low light.
- The images off the phone are very flexible for editing in photoshop. I can make some serious adjustments without any break up of the image.
- I mainly shoot outdoors in good light and the depth of field I can get with the small sensor is very useful for what I do.
- I actually love the look of the images. After I have edited them I can achieve an 'almost film' look and certainly a comparable result to a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
- All the developments in photographic technology seems to be mainly concentrated on smartphones. The developments in the last couple of years are simply amazing.
- I actually enjoy shooting on my iPHONE 17 Pro Max more than my 'proper' cameras. It is more fun.
- Some picture libraries that previously refused my smartphone images now accept them no problem.
