There’s been quite a stir in the photojournalism world lately with the acceptance of images made on mobile devices, and subsequently published in major publications like Sports Illustrated, and Dan Chung‘s take on his iPhone 4s at the London Olympics in The Guardian of London. I’ve been watching the emergence of this imagery made by professionals, but held off linking anything here, as the images were usually only presented in a slideshow format, or on the photographer’s blogs or trade sites in the industry. Here’s an interesting piece though with photojournalist Michael Christopher Brown talking about shooting with his iPhone in the Democratic Republic of Congo for TIME. ~cg.
