But professional photographers who spend as much time editing as photographing won't be purchasing this phone with that intention. That would be lunacy, as their profession/hobby likely already has had them invest thousands into professional equipment.
This is directed towards those taking pictures for social media. Advertising (that's what this is) in this way implies that you, yes you, could be as good as a professional photographer. Except, you also have to dedicate the time and vast expertise, like a professional photographer would, to get pictures like theirs. They cleverly leave that part out.
- mbreese 5y agoThe article has an entire section about how he often uses an iPhone to shoot for clients and specifically about how he sets up the phone to do so. I thought the "shoot mode" was pretty clever and I didn't know that you could setup those kinds of automations. It was a nice "pro-tip" that I could see myself using.
- Reubachi 5y ago(late reply) I can accept that he really likes the product, but even then, the point of the article is broken.I cannot imagine any scenario in which a professional photographer would use a mobile device for legitimate client work, unless he is paid by Apple. There is no way in hell it is on par with professional equipment. The battery alone is a huge detriment to field work. To your points, these are nice new features. That in no way means that a professional photographer should say "you can be as good as me with these new features!"
