iPhoneography: how to create inspiring photos with your smartphone

摘要

iPhoneography "is the process of taking and editing photos exclusively with [an] iPhone or similar device." Some of us may still remember whiteboards or blackboards with important graphics and text, and clearly visible writing on the board in big block letters: "DO NOT ERASE." With the advent of digital photography, instant gratification became possible: photos could be taken and (almost) immediately stored in computer systems where they were subsequently edited-if needed-and made available to various users. However, using desktop computers as "the 'editing' endpoint," which is still separated from the initial creative "capturing" process (page 20), in the opinion of the author, "confines our creativity" because keyboard and mouse as input devices are "a barrier for the user." By using an iPhone or similar device, photographers can "shoot, edit, process, and share their creations within minutes" (page 29).
