Iphoneography Bridal Editorial | Cape Town Streets Look Book

We are always connected via our smartphones. This is the reality of our lives.  Therefore the best camera to have is most definitely your phone, because it is always with you, but even though you might be snapping away in your everyday life it is still important to implement the basic rules of photography to achieve success with iphoneography.

Photography is not about cameras, gadgets and gismos.

Photography is about photographers.

A camera didn’t make a great picture any more

than a typewriter wrote a great novel.

– Peter Adams

Due to the nature of the shoot I also chose to use bad lighting conditions { mid-day } and no reflectors or light shaping tools were used to help me control the light. It was all down to placing and posing my model to achieve the best lighting composition. Some editing apps were used to enhance colour and exposure but were directly uploaded onto Instagram as the shoot progressed, so it didn’t leave me with much time to make drastic chances.  You can see the shoot on my Instagram feed @samanthacliftonphoto as posted on the day.

Now to just get that one bride who is adventurous enough to let me shoot her whole wedding on my iphone as my next project…most of the guests do it in anyway ?

WHO MADE IT HAPPEN:
