Daily Mail:
Former White House Photographer Pete Souza has released the first images taken using the new phone, showing off its new camera capabilities.
He took these shots exclusively for Dailymail.com around Washington DC, and any editing was done on the phone using Apple’s tools.
‘Smart phones have turned everyone into a photographer but they haven’t necessarily turned everyone into a “good” photographer,’ he told Dailymail.com
Several Twitterers are pointing to Austin Mann’s Petapixel post with images shot on the new iPhone but, to me, Mann’s shots are “just” the typical ones any tourist would take and don’t show off the capabilities of the new iPhone. Souza shows a wide variety of shots that do a great job of showing the range of the iPhone X s.
Austin Mann’s shots are “typical ones any tourist would take”? Sounds like Shawn is not a fan of Austin, who is one of the most celebrated iPhonographers in the world.
I think what Shawn is getting at is that Mann’s pictures do have very nice composition, plus they show off features like depth of focus. The subject matter is static though.
Souza’s pictures really capture people in motion. It feels like every picture is telling a story and you want to know more. He reminds me of Henri Cartier-Bresson.
I think you need to learn more about photography.
I agree that “everything is a smeared mess” but I think (and hope) it’s the jpg compression of the Daily Mail’s website and not how Souza delivered the photos to them that has caused that.
