Grab that iPhone, guys, and snap away! You’re now in the running to get your pics on a TIME Magazine cover, if you can believe it. FStoppers write “in a creative world where there is a mentality of “bigger is better,” most photographers will be shocked to hear that Time Magazine just released 12 magazine covers for their September issue all shot on iPhone”.
Mind you, I have to say, the quality of the images coming off the iPhone 7 are very impressive. There’s still the usual issues with poor imagery in low-light situations – one day there will be technology that sorts this out, I’m sure of it – but even with half-decent lighting conditions, it produces wonderful digital photographs. The new iPhone 8 and iPhone X (just announced this week) apparently use a new double lens built-in technology improvement which help to deal with issues such as depth of field, sharpness and lower light – but the question coming is just how good do you want your cellphone camera to be? Better than a DSLR? It won’t happen. The small almost-pinhole lenses of smartphones versus proper DSLR glass will always produce different kinds of quality imagery. “It’s the light, dummy, it’s the light!”, is the old catch-cry and that wont ever change. My two cents worth anyway.
Still, have a read of the article linked below and check out some of the images being produced as magazine-quality professional photography…
