Image making for me has always been about the right tool for the right job, and in that regard, phones are a powerful tool.
Like it or not, smartphones are capable picture takers in certain situations, and even when they aren’t up to the task social media output hides a lot of the issues. Let’s discuss some of the ways a smartphone shines.The biggest benefit by far is that we effectively wear smartphones. We have a camera that is always with us. Despite the rather poor ergonomics, smartphones are supremely convenient. From a street photography perspective, smartphones blend into the background of everyday life.
While we are on the topic of image quality, I would never say that phones can match MILC cameras. However, it has to be appreciated that in some situations they come close. Landscapes in particular play to the strength of smartphones. By capturing one image from multiple exposures, phones can deliver excellent dynamic range and then also represent that fully on an HDR display.
I will be the first to say that phones are not the same tools as MILCs. The relatively tiny sensors are going to be the standard for a long time to come and frankly, I don’t want manual controls on a phone. That isn’t their strength. However, the ability to merge multiple exposures helps them punch well above their weight, and the convenience of being tied directly to a phone is immensely useful.
