mobile photography

Iphone 6s

Camera on the mobile phone is getting better and better every single year. Some people will say that the image results are already exceed a decent camera, real camera. Is it true? The answer is debatable. For me, your phone is the most reliable camera in the world. Why is that? Because it is ALWAYS with you and you are already very comfortable with it.

Let's say you already had an iPhone for years. No matter the series are, you must have been already taken tons of photos with it. In one day, when you are on the lunch break, you find someone who dressed interesting passing by in front of you, and you are currently on whats app with your friend. What are you gonna do? Will you take a camera on your bag first, turn it on, and take a photos? The moment will already gone by that time. Of course you will turn the camera apps on your phone, take a composition a little bit, maybe by bending your knee, and then, click click click click. Now you got 4 photos to choose for that moment.

My point is, don't be afraid to take photos with your phone. It may has disadvantages if it is compared with a pro camera, but your phone has already become the part of your life. It's always with you, at any time. It's almost never runs out of battery because you always charge it. Just shoot with it. 

Do you need to buy a camera for a street photography if you already had an iPhone? Don't limit yourself. If you have a budget, go for it. Now you have a choice what to shoot. There are tons of choices for camera for street photography, from USD 300 to USD 6,000. But remember, camera or a phone is only a tool. What really matters is the man behind the gun.

God Bless You,
