I get photos published in national press using just my iPhone
Here's how I ended up using my iPhone and being published in a national newspaper, multiple times! The post I get photos published in national press using just my iPhone appeared first on Amateur Photographer .
This narrative follows a journey that began with a family loss in St James's Square, Grimsby, and culminated in photographing a future House of Lords member on Cleethorpes Pier. In February 2022, after losing a loved one, the author left their cameras behind and encountered a street performer named "Elton Wrong" using a converted mobility scooter as a piano and candelabra.
The author instinctively turned to their iPhone, a revelation that led to the discovery of its photographic capabilities. In 2024, after upgrading their phone and working for a local newspaper, the author began using their iPhone for quick reference shots, social media images, and videos. This led to their work being published in the Daily Mirror.
Six months later, the subject of one of the iPhone photos, Jason Stockwood, was appointed to the House of Lords. The author believes that the iPhone's accessibility and image stabilization in marginal light make it a powerful tool for photography, particularly when people feel more relaxed and natural in front of it.
