So, those of you that know me - know I used to do photography all the time. But I let it go - economy tanked - needed a steady income/health insurance/etc. But I follow a ton of blogs - everything from Christian Blogs to high fashion (and a little of everything in between). Knowledge is power, right? Well, that a being said I came across a photography blog, from Spain, and the author was annoyed. He said, that photography as an art is waning - and that everyone believes, if they have a high end camera and photoshop - that they are photographers. So he gave a challenge. Anyone with an iPhone or iPod - to do a photoshoot only using that camera. He would allow filters, (such as in instagram) but nothing in anymore detail. So, I asked my friend Brooke, if she was game - and if she wanted to be my model. Of course she was - so we set the time for Saturday. And I have to say - I was floored.
It was the absolutely hardest photo shoot I have done - you almost have way too much control. Not the stability of a big camera. But here is what I noticed - I had to think. I got to where I didn't have to think before. I knew I could edit them the way I wanted them. But, all that being said - I had a blast. Brooke had fun, I had fun, and it was awesome seeing what could be done with a phone!!!
It makes me happy knowing that 'I still got it'. It also makes me happy that with the benefit of my iPhone - what was once a business for me - is still a passionate hobby. And I really love my phone. Like , seriously. I was just thinking about it - and thought I'd share. I'll post a couple so you can see... Enjoy!
