The fashion photography scene is rife with Hasselblads, D3X's and 1Ds mk4's, with clients needing the most tack sharp and high resolution pictures possible by today's technological standards. So what happens when a team of professional photographers ditch the lumbering beasts for a more svelte imaging solution, the Nokia N8? The results would probably astound you.
Shooting for the cover of South African magazine PiX, the photographers swapped studio monoblocks in favour of continuous lights as there is no way the Nokia N8 could sync with traditional studio flash systems. The 12MP cameraphone, which is probably the best in the market does well, producing nicely rendered colours and sharp pictures. This just goes to show that it's not your gear that makes a picture, rather the person behind the lens, discounting the bajillion dollars in studio lighting of course.
While this concept is eerily similar to what f-stoppers did with the iPhone 4 a while back despite the videos claims to be a world first, I like things like this, pushing the limits of technology and using it in to break the norm. What's next? iPhone 4 feature films? Oh wait…
