Smartphone photography-2024. Part 8

You can use your smartphone to shoot streets, graphics, and you can even make a good photo report. Top smartphones can transmit color and light very close to professional cameras.

It is a pity that it is not yet possible to shoot sports, wildlife, moonrises and everything else on smartphones, where a very tele focus is needed.

In fact, photography surrounds us everywhere.

Advertising signs, banners, magazines...even a passport photo is also a snapshot!

But someone is taking pictures of it all...

And every photo has an author.

But most of the photos in all areas are depersonalized.

Only those who film life (reports, street, documentary projects) act as the author.

It's like a fridge magnet with a beautiful picture and a large painting from an exhibition.

Both have an author, but for some reason one work of art is impersonal, and the second has a personality underneath it.

Where is the line when a picture has a personality?

Why doesn't anyone ask the author of the picture about any photo wallpapers?

Why, when we put an image from the Internet on our desktop, do we not look for someone who took this picture?

It turns out that the author himself must act as a person, that is, defend his personality in each picture.

Or the picture should be so amazing that people will wonder who took it.

It turns out that as you present the result of your creative activity, so it will work.

Although no, if the photo does not reflect the inner world of a person, then no one will be interested in a person.

If in the subject shooting for some store or magazine, or for example, in the pictures of food for the restaurant menu, the personality is not visible at all, then the author of the photo will never be indicated there.

It turns out that this is just a frequency – technical photography, where creating an image is like stamping a part in a factory. They don't write the name of the stamper on every part.

And where art begins (that is, sensations, feelings, metaphysics, soul), then the personality comes out of the shadows.
