How good is an iPhone for photographers?

I’m Larry Moskowitz, a stock photographer. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved photography. I own all kinds of cameras and I have all kinds of equipment. Yeah, it’s not just my hobby, it’s my way of life.

I’ve seen and welcomed a lot of hobbyists who were looking to get into the photography scene. Many of them were young kids who were still in school. Since they didn’t have the money to buy quality gear, most of them only used their smartphones (mostly iPhones) – which isn’t a bad thing.

iPhones have great cameras, better than most other smartphone cameras in production. As far as point-and-shoot cameras go, iPhones are in a league of their own. They’re great for beginners because they’re not as complicated as DSLRs, and what’s more is that an iPhone has editing capabilities built into its app.

DSLRs are still the top-of-the-line when it comes to photography, but the iPhone is probably the handiest. From taking photos to instantly sharing them online, it can be done in just a matter of seconds.

As for me, I believe having an iPhone as a camera is valuable to a person entering photography simply because it keeps the whole thing interesting and affordable. While newer iPhones are expensive, you can buy used iPhones online for a much cheaper price and still be able to utilize its many wonderful camera features. That’s a Larry Moskowitz tried-and-tested tip.
