Mobile Mondays: Street photography with the iPhone 16 Pro

2 weeks ago 4

It hasn’t been long since the iPhone 16 came out, so we’re sure those of you who got it have been playing around with the camera. If you opted for the iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max, you might also be enjoying the extra features for shooting both photos and videos.

By now, there are already tons of technical tips and tricks for making the most out of these pro features. So, for today’s Mobile Mondays installment, we thought about sharing some inspiration instead, with some actual street shooting with the iPhone 16 Pro.

In the video above, Samuel Bassett of Optical Wander shared 30 minutes of street photography around London. He also touches a bit on what makes the iPhone 16 Pro cameras different from their predecessor. Sure, nothing beats shooting with an actual camera. But smartphones like iPhone make great options for both a secondary camera, or a camera for practicing and scouting locations. He also gives us some composition ideas which may come in handy for similar street scenes and shooting conditions, whatever the city.
