How the iPhone revolutionised photography

Fashion photographer Georges Antoni and Margaret Zhang for Elle Australia

Fashion photographer Georges Antoni uses the iPhone 7 Plus on Portrait mode to photograph Margaret Zhang for the June cover story of Elle Australia. 

Can you believe this? The face of photography [pun intended] have been changed tremendously. I was a member of photographic societies in Johannesburg area for a number of years and later was "duped" into believing that members [especially very senior members] know everything about photography and what the perfect image looks like. I resigned. 

This is the new face of photography - thanks to "photography-rebels" such as Georges.

After my resignation I packed my "big" Nikon away, obtained a "mik-and-druk" [point and shoot] and experienced a tremendous freedom. I you click on this link you will see the same thing happened to this photographer: he experienced freedom from certain restraints imposed by others on photographers. Please read this article to the end. 

Some time ago Bentley  [video shots] also requested a photographer to use his iPhone to shoot an advertisement for them. Read the article by clicking on this linkTheir approach to this meant having the ad "filmed, assembled and edited using the in-car connectivity and entertainment platform." Essentially, the filmmakers used an iPad Air to assemble all of the footage, and edited the entire thing in the backseat. 

Revolution in the photographic palaces!!!!
