Pulitzer Prize winner <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_H._White_(photojournalist)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"184962\">John H. White<\/a> is among those who lose their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The move is significant not just because of what it says about the declining newspaper industry. It also spotlights the iPhone&#8217;s growing acceptance as a professional camera.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>iPhone camera transforms photojournalism<\/h2>\n<p>After the mass firing, the <em>Sun-Times<\/em> told its reporters they would receive training in the basics of iPhone photography to produce their own photos and videos. &#8220;In the coming days and weeks, we&#8217;ll be working with all editorial employees to train and outfit you as much as possible to produce the content we need,&#8221; managing editor Craig Newman <a href=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/2013\/05\/31\/sun-times-photojournalism-strategy-reporters-with-iphones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"184963\">told staffers in a memo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly true that iPhone cameras were getting significantly better by mid-2013. At that time, the iPhone 5 featured an 8-megapixel iSight camera. Although far lower-quality than a professional DSLR camera,\u00a0it was much\u00a0improved from the crappy 2-megapixel camera of the original iPhone less than a decade earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The number of photo-editing apps in the App Store from 2008 onward also boosted iPhone photography. Suddenly, anyone could give photos the kind of post-production sheen that once required a specialist multimedia computer &#8212; or, before that, a darkroom &#8212; to achieve.<\/p>\n<h3>iPhone for photojournalism<\/h3>\n<p>By 2013, the iPhone was starting to be used for news reportage, partially as a result of its portability. For instance, when Hurricane Sandy hit New York City in late 2012, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/news\/time-magazine-photographers-capture-sandy-with-iphones-and-instagram\" data-lasso-id=\"184964\">reporters for\u00a0<em>Time<\/em>\u00a0used the iPhone to take photos in the field<\/a>\u00a0and upload them to the publication\u2019s Instagram account. Even the cover photo used on the corresponding issue of\u00a0<em>Time<\/em>\u00a0was taken on an iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Still, many viewed the\u00a0<em>Chicago Sun-Times&#8217;<\/em>\u00a0slashing of its photo staff negatively.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sun-Times<\/em> photographer Alex Garcia argued that the \u201cidea that freelancers and reporters could replace a photo staff with iPhones is <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.chicagotribune.com\/assignment-chicago\/2013\/05\/the-idiocy-of-eliminating-a-photo-staff.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"184965\">idiotic at worst, and hopelessly uninformed at best<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The downside of democratization of tech<\/h3>\n<p>For me, this event was important because it showed the flip side of Apple&#8217;s democratization of technology. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adobe_PageMaker\" data-lasso-id=\"184966\">Adobe PageMaker<\/a> on the original Mac, Apple products have been giving creatives powerful tools that produce pro results. These days, people can achieve in their front rooms work that once required professional facilities to accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone camera did the same. Apple certainly wasn&#8217;t the first company to build cameras into its devices. However, Cupertino did make a serious effort to improve iPhone cameras each year. By 2013, Apple was running ads to promote the iPhone camera as a tool for budding photographers. Apple continues to do so today with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/shot-on-iphone\" data-lasso-id=\"184967\">successful &#8220;Shot on iPhone&#8221; campaigns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ubiquity of the iPhone also makes it an indispensable tool for photographers. By 2013, the number of pictures shot on iPhone far surpassed those taken on DSLR cameras like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II on photo-sharing site Flickr.<\/p>\n<p>Combine the iPhone&#8217;s continued popularity with the immediacy of online news and the decline of traditional print media, and you&#8217;ve got a recipe for a revolution. Old-school photographers seem unfortunately expendable. And now AI tools, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultofmac.com\/how-to\/remove-object-from-photo\" data-lasso-id=\"1641539559\">some now available for Apple devices<\/a>, make photo editing easier than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Are you a photographer who relies on, or actively avoids shooting on, iPhones on a daily basis? Do you think the presence of smartphone cameras in everyone&#8217;s pockets has improved or worsened photography?
