That old saying that ‘the best camera is the one you’ve got with you’ is more true than ever these days thanks to the advanced hardware and software of the iPhone range - especially in relation to Pro models such as the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Devices such as the iPhone 11 Pro onwards enable photographers to switch from telephoto to wide to ultra-wide lenses in a few taps – capturing moments and compositions that a DSLR user might miss while they fumble to swap detachable lenses. Thanks to the Apple ProRAW format, users of the iPhone 12 Pro onwards can capture much more information about a subject’s colours and tones, narrowing the image quality gap between iPhone and DSLR even further. DSLR users need to choose a metering mode to measure the amount of light in a scene. This can lead to skies being overexposed if the incorrect mode has been selected. The iPhone has the edge when it comes to exposure thanks to Smart HDR 4, which uses machine learning to combine multiple exposures that reveal maximum colour and detail in different parts of the scene.
The iPhone is the perfect gadget for photographers. As well as being the camera that’s close to hand, it is a digital darkroom packed with tools that can fix problems with colour, tone and composition. It’s also a portable gallery that lets you display photos on a high-resolution display or share shots to thousands of screens via social media. iPhones are also effective photography tools as they draw less attention when you’re taking a photo (compared to using a bulky DSLR camera).
Although we predominantly used an iPhone 14 and iPhone 14, Pro Max, for this feature, you can apply many of our shooting and editing tips, tricks and techniques to older iPhone models and produce great-looking photos.
