Hello and welcome to today’s episode. Remember when people were saying “the iPhone would be the death of the photography industry”? Back when early smartphones added cameras, professionals panicked. But fast-forward to today, and photography is far from dead—in fact, the iPhone saved it. As the article points out, “Everyone’s a Photographer Now (And That’s Not a Bad Thing).” By lowering the barrier to entry, millions unlocked an interest in light, composition, and storytelling.

Thanks to this “global explosion of visual creativity,” visual communication is now as common as texting. We send photos to say “look at this,” “I was here,” or even “I love you.” Ironically, the flood of snapshots has increased demand for high-quality work. Brands and publications need images that cut through the noise, raising the profile of skilled professionals.

The iPhone has become “a gateway drug” into more serious photography, offering computational photography, RAW shooting, and multi-lens systems in your pocket. So no, the iPhone didn’t kill photography—it brought it to the masses and made the medium stronger than ever.
