My photograph taken with a smartphone was selected as the photograph of the week in Amateur Photographer Amateur Photographer, published since 1884
“The photograph was taken with an Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max during a walk through the Market Square in Wrocław, Poland. Passing by restaurants before opening, I noticed garden chairs stacked over each other. The geometric structure formed by the lines of the chairs immediately caught my attention. By underexposing the photograph, I managed to decrease the number of details, which made the image more abstract.
Initially, I treated the photos taken with the phone as a diary or an observing and identifying photographic subjects exercise. Over time, it became clear to me that these phone-taken photos are an equally important part of my photographic work, and often, it’s hard to tell which photos were taken with the phone and which with a camera.”
