For most people, the word photographer would usually conjure
up images of a person clutching a fully loaded DSLR camera and a bag full of
camera accessories. But rapid improvements in the tech industry have changed
all that. Smaller, thinner yet more powerful image sensors can now be fitted in
small form factor devices such as media players and mobile phones; and hence,
gave rise to a new form of photography – mobile photography.
And today, we are featuring one of its practitioners – 23-year
old, Reinald Daguio.
Reinald comes from Bacarra, a small town in Ilocos Norte
where he has practised the art of taking pictures using his very handy mobile
phone. According to Reinald, he started using mobile phones as a tool for taking
pictures, around two years ago.
His weapon of choice is Samsung’s entry level droid – the Samsung
Galaxy Y. He also says the he uses different apps to add image filters and
enhancements to the photos that he takes. But before that, he says, he used to practise
on other older phone models from Nokia and even Motorola.
Furthermore, he also adds that even though he owns a Canon
digicam, he still prefers using his very handy Galaxy Y since it’s more
convenient to carry around and it’s always there when the perfect scene comes
along.
When it comes to his area of expertise, he says that he
likes taking pictures of beautiful things in nature. However, he would also
like to venture into portrait photography in the future. And for this, he
aspires to own a decent DSLR camera in the future.
Here are some of Reinald’s works, which you can also find in his blog.
Our world is filled with artists. Reinald is one of those,
who have proven that when it comes to art, equipment and technical know-how
aren’t all that matters but the vision.
