Is The iPhone The Best Camera For Street Photography? - iPhone 14 Pro

nice video as always! have you ever tested the maximum size you can print the photos in? keep it up, greetings from Germany

Well I do have multiple cameras like Fuji Xe-1
Canon 100D Nikon D70S
But there is something so special about using an iPhone for street photography
I do use my IPhone SE2 sometimes to snap some shots on the streets
I think I do enjoy it even though it has one lens and I can not shoot Raw with it but it’s still challenging and fun to use
Thank you for this video ….

Wow.. Great shots. A camera is just a tool.

I bought iPhone 12 Pro a few years ago to replace my cameras. I haven't felt any desire to take pictures since then. Iphone photos are so sharp and digital, souless. I had next5, 500d, d3100 and I liked the process itself even though I had no knowledge of photography at that time. Sometimes I use a film camera for the effect that I really like. I've been considering buying a new camera for a few weeks now. I really like the fuji xe4, xt30, xt2 or maybe older both for the design and for the film simulation. But won't that be a $1,000 mistake?

Thanks Steven, great video! I use my Galaxy note 20 ultra! It all about how to capture good scenes with the right angle :)

great video and awesome photos, finally review where I can see someone actually knows to take a good photo

Great video, I found myself using my iPhone a lot for photo and video for my yt channel. Even I love my 5d's, the workflow and how fast I can be creating with the iPhone makes it a powerful tool I am starting to love.

Your phone is not a camera despite it taking decent photographs in the moment. It teaches you nothing about photography! Tks

Love the color! Photo editing tutorial, please.

Really nice video and excellent set of images! I agree that the oversharpening it´s the big problem with mobile photography in general, fortunately there is ProRaw that mostly fix this. Really liked your video, subscribed!

speak faster bro plz

Hallo sorry ich Chan mir nun Mall keine richtige Kamera kaufen das ist zu duier aber daine Video sind Hammer

Great video, great photography and great conclusion🙂. The pictures from my IPhone are not like on the pro cameras that I have but you have your phone always with you and when it’s just for a FB or Instagram picture the phone is good enough. For (big) prints I will always use a real camera.

Do you have a camera lens protector on yours? If so, have you noticed any degradation in quality?

i started with photograpy when i was 14 years young, at that time 1982 of course analogue, it was always a hobby, but i did a 4 years study in a special photography school also for fun. i have a darkroom and develope BW and Colour film, i started 1996 with micrografx picture puplisher, PS were not that common. i started 2004 with digital cams, so that is my way. i do street, portrait, nude art, have a small studio. i have analogue cams, 35mm, 6x6, 6x7, 645, and two digital cams - all sony, always with me a point and shoot analogue- oympus xa or ricoh ff1 and kinda point and shoot digital - canon ixus 90is or olympus stylus 1s. i love electronics and computers, my first was an atari 800xl 1985, my first phone 1995. But....never ever i use a smartphone for photography. 🙈 it doe´s not feel right for me. Tell a painter he should start painting on a tablet after 40 years on canvas with real colours and paint brushes.🤪 But i think young people can have fun with or it is a step into real art photography with big tools. greets BM

Were these all taken on the native camera app?

Honestly the best camera are your eyes & a talent for seeing. The camera is a tool for capturing the image you have chosen.

Still great images for story telling!

Might be worth trying Halide. It will let you shoot traditional RAW rather than ProRAW that the built in app uses. Traditional RAW doesn’t have the sharpening or tone mapping of ProRAW to my understanding of how they differ.

Did u use the native app?

I agree 100%.

Thank you for your input. I am bringing my r8 and my iphone for my next trip.

Awesome video

You said four focal options but the iPhone only has three cameras…? How four?

Could you make the raw ones available with it ?? Please!!🇧🇷🇧🇷

I shoot a iPone SE 2020 and a iPhone 12 Mini and never shoot with HDR turned on. I prefer a sightly soft image and not one that is beyond what my eyes see naturally. I never understood the whole sharpness thing but then again I’m just a pictorialist at heart.

you take great pictures even just using an iphone. i have the 14 pro also but i wont take pictures as good as you😅😅

Seems to be the best one for street FIGHT photography anyway. Seems to be what they get used for a lot.

That’s a slick MagSafe cover! Which brand is it? Props

sehr informatives Video!

I don't think I'm going to take my camera on my next overseas holiday and will only use my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I'm not a pro photographer, lugging the camera and accessories around is a pain (especially if I'm travelling in a hot country), and the camera can be really obtrusive and intrusive. The photos I take will be for me alone (other than showing to family), and pictures from my phone will be more than adequate. Plus, I'll save myself $1000s on future equipment.

Hey Steven. :) Thanks for sharing your video and review. One thing though is you should always upload any camera review from a smart phone in 4K not 1080p. Makes a huge difference in showing what it can do. I doubt you shot the photos in 1080p and video in 1080p. Or did you?

People freak out when they see a mirrorless/dslr camera pointed anywhere near them. Huge limitation in street photography.

My 14pro max gets good video but while uploading on instagram the quality of story gets degraded and blur how do i fix it ?

Interesting video. One important plus in favour of the phone is the fact that on a busy street, many people have their phone in hand, doing their thing. If you photograph people, they are not as aware you’re doing so as opposed to the fact you yield a camera in hand.
The other aspect is the sharing of photos. Watching these on the likes of FB over a phone doesn’t make much difference on over-sharpening.
Lastly, the subject here is STREET photography, not artistic, magazine, etc. photography. Action, story-telling is the main concern.

"they feel almost digital"... maybe because they are ;)

Hello from across the creek in New Jersey! Nice shots of Philly on your iPhone! I shoot both with the iPhone 13 Pro as well as the Canon EOD 100D. Although the Canon has the larger sensor and all the other options a smartphone may not have, I find I’m shooting more with the iPhone. Most of my days are in situations that my Canon cannot always be in and the iPhone is the best camera I have with me. Thanks for sharing!

Buen video

It is what is behind the camera that makes the image. Love my IPhone 13 and these videos.

After a while, it gets very tiring and tedious lugging a camera everywhere….unless its a genuinely small compact camera the size of Sony RX100 thats genuinely pocketable in every culture’s clothing.

I use my iP14ProMax interchangeably with my XE4 for street shooting.

When i need a wide angle shot, i will use various apps within my phone for that soft, retro analogue film look.

But if the image needs a “camera look”, then i will use my compact Fujinon 35mm f2 + XE4 body.

Considering
The entire video could have been shot on the phone
All the pictures taken with the phone
All video and photo editing done on the phone
All uploading to various platforms with the same phone

I think the answer is pretty clear

Awesome video and pics

May i know the settings of your camera? Such as exposure, color tone etc

Your using cover Brand name plz.

What filter or effect did you use on those photos? Thanks
