Photographer Uses iPhone 3GS to Shoot Models

oh, i thought the iphone 3gs was a gun sorry
anyways, this has been done with different phones, not news

so toms how much a week do you get paid by apple to post stupid articles about apple, any REAL photographer would NOT use the crappy Iphone camera!

But it's an iPhone! How could this NOT be exciting?!?!?

Firefox girl is way better then this one

you have to hold it right to get the great picture. uh.. not that way, its okay we will make a rubber band for your iPhone to make you take great picture. it only cost you $100 and its originally from apple.

Ok, the model is hot, but I don't care about the iPhone camera. I'd take a decent point & shoot (ie Canon A serise) or a DSLR over this. Anyways, I think jane just wanted to show us the pics

He kind of defeats his own point of saying equipment is not important by using thousands of dollars worth of lighting, studio space, retouchers and models.

You need expensive camera equipment to take acceptable pictures in the worst conditions. In perfect light any camera function extremely well, but when you take pictures of wedding in dimmed room that's where the 1k$ lens pay off.
Taking pictures in studio with unlimited supply of light that's child's play sorry to say. But still your work is impressive and appreciated.

"Morris says they may do a shoot some day with just natural light but for now, they're just trying to prove that the quality of you camera shouldn't stop you from taking great pictures."

This is stupid. Why so much Apple crap? We don't care!

hey... wada ya know.. more iphone "news"

The original photo lack sharpness. Even on the edited photos, the dynamic range is bad. The shadows are grainy. I can definitely tell that it is not shoot from a D-SLR. All these iPhone photo shoot only proves your studio lighting skills. It does not prove the quality of your camera equipment. Sorry "fstopper", I am not convinced of your claim.

Every piece of your equipment matters!

Anything is possible with skill, even with a 3GS camera.

Then he proceeds to use thousands of dollars in lighting and assistance.

Kinda defeating your own point, isn't it?

you know the pics look bad.... no question. getting the flood lights helped eliminate some problems with shadows. and they are photographing way to close her nose/forehead making them look huge in most pic, the pics presented would not even make it in mass production portrait studios. At lest find a camera that has a lens that fits the job. I could see the Iphone being better at street photography.

Notice that the images are not full res? I bet the photographer probably scaled them down to hide/more easily edit out the horrid JPEG artifacts that you get from using a phone camera...

Now a good camera will shoot them in raw format and hi res. So yes, a tool DOES matter in terms of quality, especially if you don't have $$$ at your disposal.

Of course thousands of dollars in lighting and skill with photoshop made most of those photos.

"So how's the service with that thing?" "...uh, NOT as good as Verizon."

Because it's only possible with the drunk wizard operating the iPhone's antenna system

So we've seen iProducts used by artists, and now photographers. Toms, can you do an article next on how I use mine as toilet paper??

i'm sure they also used a real camera during the shoot. it's quite a waste to shoot everything just using the phone.

anyways, this is still a reminder for those spending too much on equipment, expecting they will take better pictures. i know a lot of men and women who bought a nikon d90 which is really a serious camera.

Sorry folks, but when you become a card carrying member of the Apple fanboy club, you can unlock features of your iPhone through iTunes that turn your iPhone into a pocket super computer, photography studio, CGI render farm right in the palm of your hand, and that's without an internet connection... it's truly the best thing man has created since Stonehenge... somewhere I went from the sublime to the ridiculous, or is all this, "Apple's the best thing eva"... if you're a sheep, you're a sheep, Apple sheep, Dell Sheep, HP sheep, eco sheep, oil drilling sheep, commerce, wall street, whatever, the bobble head phenomenon and willful cultism surrounding anything speaks more of our own gullibility more so that the item/issue in question.

It takes skill to take good photos.

An avg person won't be able to take a great photo with a $5000 camera, but a skilled person can get something out of a $100 camera.

When I'm at clubs or parties, I'll offer to take photos for them with their camera... and they usually like the results

hey dumasses, just don't read the apple news if you don't it. I'm sorry to be rude, but they even made a button on Tom's so you don't have to view any Apple news...why not just use it and quit whining?
Honestly, I have 3 pc's and a mac -- I love them all. I use my mac as my main system, but am in the process of putting together a pretty beefy render pc as well. I'm no die-hard for either -- and there's no reason to bash, whine, complain, etc about either. If you say the Apple 'fanboys' are arrogant and obnoxious...sit back for a minute and listen to yourselves, too.
Again, not flaming...but this same thing day-in and day-out is honestly ridiculous -- you don't have to click on the article...and you can avoid seeing the articles all together by simply clicking the button provided.

At LEAST with the iPhone 3GS or any previous model, you CAN "hold it like that."

Oh look.. another Iphone story!

Way too grainy!

Exactly, it is getting ridiculous - what is so special about these god damn phones! The amount of articles that Toms post's regarding Apple and their stupid phones is ridiculous!

uhmm..... so this proves what? Even with perfect lighting iPhone pics still suck...

Yeah, it looks a bit soft, not sharp at all. Could have been photoshopped after the fact. Looks like some major anti-aliasing was done.

The D90 is kind of a beginner's DSLR camera. Someone would get that if they wanted to get into photography as a hobby or wanted to start into it seriously but didn't have the cash for the better models. (or just wanted to learn before spending more).

I have the older D50 myself. It's still great, and I agree with you that you still need good knowledge of lighting and angles to take good quality photos. If you're taking portraits indoors, you need studio lighting to get it done right. Incandescent won't cut it.

I know a few people who call themselves professional photographers (the definition of which is only that you make money off your services). Their photos are crap because they just don't understand lighting or have no artistic sense, taking standard, rigid, head-on mugshots.

Exactly. Take away the lighting and make-up and this photo will look like any other amateur snapshot.

Also, you don't want to look at these pictures any bigger than they are presented here because the image quality will fall apart.

is this news !!!!????? iphone is sooooooo overrated !!!
