In the world of photography, there has long been a debate between traditionalists who swear by their professional cameras and those who have embraced the convenience and accessibility of smartphone technology. As a seasoned photographer myself, I was firmly in the former camp for many years. I relied on my professional cameras to capture stunning images, meticulously editing each one to perfection before sharing them with the world.
However, as time went on, I began to feel the weight of the cumbersome editing process and my cameras too! Hours spent behind the screen, fine-tuning every detail to meet the standards of professional photography, started to take its toll. It wasn't just about capturing the perfect shot anymore; it was about the laborious process that followed.
That's when I decided to take a leap and embrace the smartphone revolution. Initially skeptical, I soon discovered the power and efficiency of smartphones. Gone were the days of extensive editing and post-processing. With just a few taps, I could record a video, add a voiceover, and share my work with the world in a matter of minutes.
The convenience was undeniable, but I couldn't ignore the lingering doubts about the quality of smartphone footage. Would it be able to match up to the crispness and colour rendition of my professional cameras? No it doesn’t but I’ve learned to accept it because its’s behind the scenes photographs and video of me using my professional equipment for clients. Another point about social media is that it is not my shop window my website is and my website is the result of my hard work. All professional photographs!
While smartphones may not offer the same level of technical prowess as professional cameras, they more than make up for it in versatility and accessibility. The advancements in smartphone technology have led to significant improvements in image and video quality, with many flagship devices boasting impressive features such as high-resolution sensors and advanced image processing algorithms.
Moreover, the ability to capture behind-the-scenes moments in real-time adds a level of authenticity and immediacy to my work that was previously unattainable. No longer bound by the constraints of traditional photography, I can document my creative process as it unfolds, giving my audience a glimpse into the world behind the lens.
Of course, there are still limitations to smartphone photography and video, particularly when it comes to low-light conditions or dynamic range. However, I've found that with careful planning and creative problem-solving, these challenges can often be overcome.
In conclusion, while I may have started out as a staunch advocate for professional cameras, my journey into smartphone has been nothing short of transformative. Embracing the evolution of technology has allowed me to streamline my workflow, connect with my audience on a more personal level, and rediscover the joy of capturing moments in time.
