This, mobile photography is what photographers are making some good and you have to keep track of. Examples of inspiration, but also can learn a lot and especially the most skeptical about the real possibilities and the dimension can be achieved when shooting with an iPhone.
Therefore, nothing better than to have the opinion about some professional photographers who are making mobile photography with more than a phenomenon.

So, we contacted some of the most respected professionals in this type of photography.

To make reading more comfortable, we will divide the interviews into two blocks, one here with the view of the Spanish Sion Fullana and David de Haro, and one that will have other photographers. In all cases we performed the same questions so as to maximize the views about each.

What do you find a stimulant to take photos with an iPhone in front of it with a professional camera?
Perhaps in part is a slight contradiction. Let’s say when I’m doing street photography , on the one hand, it’s exciting to dedicate yourself to focus only on the moment that you, immersing you in the scene in a much more invisible than with a camera around his neck, and being able to forget a little if white balance, whether ISO, whether lens or changing speed or aperture every time you enter or exit a site to another, from sun to shade, and so on.
With iPhone in hand, knowing some tools at your fingertips, you can focus your attention on the composition and the direct or indirect interaction with the characters. At the same time, is the limitation that in low light you will lose speed and focus, and that having no zoom you have to be above the action more directly.
But what is limiting is also an interesting challenge, as you take pictures, or use the iPhone to capture events, or “behind the scenes”. Because you have to sharpen your skills to get your best picture despite the obstacles. And you know that in general, have a chance or two and now … With the iPhone you can not take 20 photos at once the moment, so there is an element of “lottery” that’s exciting.
