goose Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Taking a picture with your phone isnt "photography", it's taking a picture with your phone.Isn't it dependent on what is produced and the subsequent interpretation by the viewer? Or non-viewer I suppose. ETA: I see your post about tongue in cheek. Edited February 21, 2015 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or non-viewer I suppose Yes. Why does it matter what camera you take a picture with, they're all still cameras, whether it's a DSLR, a phone, a film camera or even a webcam. These were all taken with an iPhone and they're still better than what a good amount of DSLR users can do: https://iso.500px.com/landscape-iphone-photos/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes what I think is a great shot my customer just passes by but loves a shot that I think is not quite as good. Another thing I have found is that people don't value photography as art as much now because everyone carries a camera in their pocket all the time. I can say that I have produced some images on my iPhone that I value technically as much as images I create on my Canon 1DX. Contrary to what a lot of people think, gear does not make you a photographer. Mastering composition and learning to "see" and control light does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not all photography is art but only a moron would claim that photography can't be art.You need to show a little skin, and shoot it in black and white... that's art! Selfies are not art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
