Telephonetography- It's Finally Good Enough.
Welcome!

The point of this post, is to Share a few of my Smartphone Photos taken with the Huawei P10. Great little phone, awesome Leica Camera inside it. It's the whole reason I got the thing in the first place.
The point of wanting to shoot with a Phone is simple.
Nobody needs to be aware that you're taking a photo.
This is something very awesome, because even with modern Point-and-shoot cameras, the fact that you're holding a camera means that people know you're holding a camera. As a photographer that's always trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, the smartphone is the perfect decoy. All everyone everywhere ever does is stare at their phones. I am never noticed for using it as a camera.Smartphones have amazing cameras.
Sure, they are no DSLRs or other fantastical, modern contraptions like the Panasonic GH5 (my work-camera), but they can take photos nowadays that are simply amazing! From Dark Scenes to Contrasty ones- they can handle it. And I want to take advantage of this wonder of the modern world. There is no reason for Smartphone photography not to be artistic and well executed. And yes, I mean pure, if there is such a thing, smartphone photography- without the niknaks attached making the following photo just seem a little... pointless.
totally not what I'm Talking about
So there we Go, let me expose myself artistically and show you some Huawei P10 Photography.
(oh, but I do have a disclaimer and that is, I do edit the photos minimally. Only a bit of exposure, no real manipulation. If this is something you would like to discuss, I welcome you to do so...)

Well there we go! Nothing about the World Ending due to Hamburgers this time.
I hope you Enjoyed it, read the whole thing and I invite you to discuss your Thoughts on Photography, Smartphone or Otherwise.
Best,
Really lovely phone photographs, Christian. And you have a lovely website too. Under what section of your portfolio do you have these phone photos, as I didn't find them? Or are they exclusively published on Steemit? I'm trying to learn everything I can from you. Hope you don't mind ;-)
Hey Ubok-Ananse!
Wow, thanks man that's a huge compliment! Unfortunately, on my website there are currently only Films and Videos.
This Steemit Post was my first post on Smartphone Photos, but I do hope to do more! If you're on Instagram, I have just opened an account called @myphonephotodiary where I will only post Phone pics!
I think it's awesome that you show such interest. It's an incredible time where we can all take really good photography with a little gadget that's in our pocket all of the time anyway. There's no reason not to do it!
hope to see some of your stuff sometime :)
all the best,
Christian
Very creative photo! :) Followed
Thanks!! :)
Hello Captain! P10 is really a great phone and I wish to buy one because I got my phone busted and had been using digital camera all along. Truly technology has evolved into something that we can only imagine before.
The next thing might be a camera phone that could see celestial body!
By the way, i also wish to use your photos as my model in painting. Would that be alright?
Hey Johanna,
Thank you for taking the time to write! I think it will be very interesting to see how much further technology will evolve in our lifetimes, but it's already incredibly exciting. And maybe a phone that can look into space like a telescope is still some time away, but for sure soon we will see phones that can see in the dark because of super sensitive sensors.
About using my photos to paint, You're welcome to do so under 2 conditions:
as long as you agree that you won't make money off the paintings, because that would put us into a weird situation with copyright infringement, etc. we don't want that ;) (but for yourself or as a gift is FINE!)
You promise to take a photo of the painting and send it to me, because I would love to see the result! :)
thanks and chat soon!

Hahaha sure sure. Thank you.
Don't worry. I'll just post the painting on my room. Ciao
Hehe great! I look forward to seeing what comes of it! :) Thanks again!
You're always welcome!
