Mobile photography over the last decade or so. Or: I quite like a filter, I need all the help I can get!
I first got into using a phone for photographs when my camera was stolen and I had to think about composition etc a lot more. The first phone I LOVED using was the iPhone 3GS as the limitations of the actual camera were celebrated by loads of apps mimicking retro, lomo, tilt/shift cameras and lots of fun filters. I decided to buy a Nokia 808 pureview as my first real "compromise" between a phone and a camera as you could edit a soft 'raw-like' photo on the phone and also use presets. I had a few Samsungs where it actually felt you could get a useable image without lots of manipulation for the first time. What really surprised me was that I could take photos with my phone and my camera and - to me - the camera was so superior in quality and yet most people I knew couldn't tell the difference. My latest phone - a xiaomi 17 ultra - has caused me to fall in love with filters all over again as some are really lovely and I can't wait to get out and enjoy it. I think a professional photographer can get a good shot out of any camera they use however basic but I love the apps and filters that can really help if you have less natural talent.
Sorry! My tags on the photos and their order have got messed up.
For anyone interested: In order iphone 3GS tilt/shift, galaxy s22u, iphone 4, s22u, galaxy s10, nokia 808, note 4 x 3, nokia 808, iphone 4 lomo, camera (to compare with the other dog photo taken with the note 4 on the same walk).
