When the term iPhoneography was coined I had been at early stages employing my other phone camera not at all thought about these and a seriously. But word was spreading and when I got my first iPhone 4 I quite prepared to the various level of picture your correct. Phone-wise at least. Professionally photographer I knew prior to that it still actually toy, not a working instrument, despite of present rumours predicting death for many SLRs.
Right, pictures thinking about iPhone were way that beats with other phones old cameras. What made them outstanding - is software. All these apps flooded market in short time and helped users to evolve simple pictures of anything into masterpiece. From these users opinion. One can argue that 99% in the place of "art" should and will go straight to the trash. May be. May get to not. The issue grabs into philosophy grounds and have no simple answer. Every individual with an iPhone includes a straightforward but effective method to expressing themselves in artistic way and share with it with friends. Often enough with satisfactory feelings caused by enthusiastic support of associates - "likes" - leading to positive emotions. And that satisfaction is growing very deep in human nature...
With the help of the internet and social networks other people suddenly and unexpectedly become fasionable and even famous greatly assist iPhone pictures! Some of them starting to think what to do with their new position and newly developed skills. And one day inevitable question happens -
HOW CAN I MAKE MONEY WITH MY EYE AND piece of fruit?
Here it comes - the question has been asked and genie let out of your bottle. Now you can see frequently requests for iPhone insurance policies for events, even relationships. I bet that for awhile it'll be just a modest share but considering speed of gadgets development we will soon see something very similar to "full-frame iPhone camera" and so... Will iPhoneography become a gathering service?
I'm trying choose logical now. My getting the right reaction was - don't! It is a enjoyable and a great toy for everyone. The key word if so is "everyone". This is a major benefit and function of the tool - to make it easy and available for everyone without having to get trained with serious skill. So my preliminary judgement was simple: minimal skill - no scene. How it might turn into professional then?
However, for just about any second thought it all became not so obvious. There are the lot of factual and intuitive hints that this is starting to become something Big. iPhoneography is becoming some sort of industry. And when you include an industry - some people make living search engines, just running around and somehow making money. So it is then just a matter of "HOW". How on earth might you sell something you can do for everyone?
Actually, not everyone can make pictures of the same level even using comparable camera and same regime. Apart from the skill income some space for a standard talent. Some people could in fact be born with Absolute pitch, some (let me improvise) - that have an absolute eye. They get the information things, angles, shadows. And it doesn't matter what sort of equipment they suppress hands - their main advantage to them. And what happens nowadays when such one who never thought about photography to turn into a profession start using a much more iPhone, producing an interesting results hectic, without any special learning how? He/She become popular. Do they necessarily go to photography course at school or Uni? Nope. They are going to make living snapping near! And in respect to financial income they may be counted as iPhoneography Professionals.
So let's think one day, why someone will turn to employ an iPhoneography professional instead of a normal Professional Photographer just about all the their cameras etc? What's the benefit of doing to make sure they? Well, coverage speed obviously. Not to mention the option that of being trendy. Here we go - someone might want to do an online reportage of any event with some pictures to be shown just as event head out. Without visible bulky add-ons, semi candid. For scenario, it might be below are some Industry Awards Ceremony with organizers being forced to Tweet and FB the photos of lucky winners merely the next minute after headline. Yes, it will be a value to enable them to create some fuss on Facebook and numerous others networks showing the images of ways great is the problem. Provided the budget is large enough, they might be more than happy to employ someone if necessary that pictures are soon.
Now my imagination is running wild and i see lots of possible scenarios. Actually, I now go to the complete photography market theme. And of course to produce a niche, as always it'll be quickly taken. Worse than that - possibly it is already brought. Some relaxed and brave kids in pyjama looking pants are may well be already making more cash with their iPhones than I ever thought of. Never mind my levels in experience and set it's unbelievably expensive equipment.
It's best for me I don't see them around yet, at least I can't Google them in by myself area. It means I have my chance like a in the first raw to penetrate this race. May be it is a question of getting a substantial or well known to put cool pictures in Instagram? The person who will make it first warrant the jack-pot? JI am emphasizing that, but apparently it's not only about pictures, but also about communication skills to be able to connect with people easily. Easy sounds but tedious goes. My iPhoneography category via blog still underperforming in regards to SEO.
Remarkably, Wikipedia defines as "Professional" not someone featuring a skill but "a person that is engaged in a new activity, or occupation, for gain or compensation as means of livelihood". Basically it's one who paid for what he/she has been doing. Well, indeed the question is not about the awesome skill really, but about meeting someone prepared to pay. It will not actually matter for what we: for the skill, for that talent, or for being the first for sale. So let's keep eyes wide open and follow the development of this field, it when buying an interesting story...
