Photography: iPhone photographers all of the world-Catch the moments with iPhone

I heard a couple times from people around me that photographing with iPhone is the bull shit and you can’t call yourself a photographer if you take pictures with your smart phone.

I agree that you can’t be a photographer if you have no special view of the subject, if you don’t have your own imagination about things and if you don’t see the details which should be a very special for you, but invisible to others. But, I don’t agree that you can’t be a photographer without a certificate and with the last model of Nikon or Canon. It doesn’t make a sense for me.

So, here I am with my iPhone :)

A many many years ago, when my uncle who was a photographer gave me his pride, oldest camera Zenit just to look at it, I found out that I liked the voice of the button so much that I decided to pay more attention to the photography, a very special voice that makes you know that you did something.

After a while, I bought the same Camera on the flea market as a gift from my friends and when I shooted a couple photos I was excited with the results. The colors, the process and the fact that I was looking at the frozen moments from the past it touched me forever. I became depended on this process and the SOUND of a button. I didn’t know anything about the photography things: shutter speed; aperture and etc.

This is me and my very first Zenit:

Zenit, Cappadocia and Me :)

There was and are things in my life that are not interested enough to me. The same is happening with cameras. I don't understand the mechanism how the camera works because it seems boring for me, so I couldn’t never ever have learned photography in a technic way. I don’t know how, but every time I take a photo it works by itself and each time I'm falling in love almost with all of the mine photos. I had a couple cameras in my life and I used them by my way and always been effective (I still don’t know what is that way ).

Now, in this smart phones era, it comes more easily for me and with my experience I’ve realized that you don’t need to have professional camera or certificate to be a photographer. You can just have an iPhone and just love to take photos.
This is my hobby but still, I can call my self a photographer because every time I take a picture with my device, it brings me a huge satisfaction every time. After a while, I print my photos and watching them remember the same excitement and the same emotions which I received the same day when the photo was taken. They have the same aura, positiveness and even the same smell. This is the most important thing that photographer should have-catch the moment!

I don’t know how somebody can say that these photos aren’t real because I took them with my iPhone.

I proudly can say, I love my iPhone, I love my photos and I am a Photographer no matter am I a professional skilled and certificated photographer with a pro camera or not. It comes from inside you and this is the point of it.

Just, catch the moment for you for forever and catch it with iPhone!

WISH YOU GOOD LUCK iPhone photographers <3
