Development of mobile phone photography

Second, mobile phone photography was bitten by the iPhone.

Mobile phone photography has been integrated into people's daily life. In absolute terms, the biggest consumer of photography in the world is not Nikon or Canon, but Apple, but Nokia. With the rapid increase of the number of netizens in Weibo, it has become an ironclad fact that everyone is a disseminator of news information.

Apple's mobile phone itself has no more advantages, but Apple's comprehensive indicators are absolutely first-class, with a good interactive interface, smooth feel, attractive games and various fancy and practical camera functions that photographers relish. The superiority of Apple's mobile phone photography is not in pixels, but in achieving various effects through various software. Apple's mobile phone has a lot of photography software available. Of course, Hipstamatic is the best software, which can take pictures with different special effects and styles through the built-in camera characters.

What kind of photos users take with their mobile phones depends on their own wishes, and how to toss them is their own business, not anyone else's. Even if you upload blogs, Weibo and other online media, it is at most a self-display image communication. However, perhaps under special circumstances, photos taken by mobile phones will be used in news, so there is a question of whether the images of mobile phones are true or false. Of course, this question is not a wild guess, because taking pictures with Apple mobile phone can control the depth of field or change the background effect; You can automatically add a border and change the color ... The original effect in the traditional darkroom can be set in advance before taking pictures; With the help of powerful Photoshop image processing software, the effect can be easily achieved on Apple software without special training.

It is not surprising that the particularity of Apple's mobile phone photos leads to the controversy about the authenticity of mobile phone news photos, because it shakes the bottom line of the authenticity of news photography. But photos taken with mobile phones should not be called news photos just because they are suspected. In fact, among the winning photos published in the 68th annual Global Photo Awards, the photo of Apple's mobile phone about the war in Afghanistan taken by photographer Damon Winter won the third prize of newspaper photo story. Naturally, this group of photos caused controversy after winning the prize. Can the photos with dark corners taken by Apple's mobile phone be regarded as news photography, can this method be promoted in future news photography, and whether Apple's mobile phone photography and traditional digital photography adhere to the same standards. So far, the debate is inconclusive. The pros and cons are evenly matched, and no one can convince anyone. Among them, the most compromise solution is to add the special item of "mobile phone photography" in the future news photography selection to avoid unnecessary disputes and troubles.

At present, mobile phone photography is the world of iPhone, and the right to speak and the hot topic of discussion are all around iPhone, because Apple mobile phone provides users with a lot of fun and easy-to-use software, which brings the camera function to the extreme. Although other brands of mobile phones can have high pixels and good photos, their user groups and fan groups are not as strong as Apple brands. Moreover, Apple mobile phone works not only occupy a place in photography, but also movies made with Apple mobile phones are in the limelight. At the 6 1 Berlin Film Festival, Korean director Park Chan-wook won the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film.

Since the iPhone in the mobile phone industry, such as Windows in the IT industry, cannot be shaken, it can only give in. When Apple was in its heyday, it was not only news photography but also film art that was bitten.
