The Smartphone camera has had a great impact on photography both good and bad. Bad mostly for the professional industry as the ubiquitous nature of the smartphone means more people having access to photography and that apps and the building features in the phones themselves has made it too easy. This ease of use has also brought prejudice that photos by cell phones are less legitimate than done with a “real camera”.
To be honest I shared those sentiments for a while, but as time went on my views began to soften. Every generational change in photography brings about arguments on the death of photography. The Kodak camera and its appeal to the masses, or color photography vs. black and white photography and whether color photography could be taken seriously as art. Then of course comes the argument of art for film and commercial for digital photography. Now its cell phones vs. DSLRS, you get the idea. I believe that any camera is a good camera. Better to take the picture than not take it.
