Turn Your Travel Snaps Into Art.
Last month, I travelled to Paris for the launch of Huawei P30 Series ( the P30 and P30 Pro smart phones with a camera like I’ve never experienced) and it got me thinking about how the cameras in our phones have changed the way we document travel.
It’s so easy to snap, snap, snap.
But once you’re home what happens to all those great shots? More often than not, they sit in the cloud, maybe you share them on Instagram but most of the time they end up as distant digital memories.
So on this trip, armed with this amazing new phone, I decided to photograph with purpose. I turned my lens on the pieces of Paris that I love the most. The details, the doors (like the ones I shot in Versailles above), the light on the buildings, the people….
Every shot I took was with the intention of printing and framing them for my home.
I am obsessed with the doors in Paris. I took this one in The Marais and the colours and detail have made the most gorgeous image.
THE PHONE THAT WILL TURN YOU PRO.
I was given a Huawei P30 Pro to road-test while in Paris (it launches in Australia on April 16) and the “P” must stand for photography because the camera in this handset has set a new bench mark.
Words don’t do the super powers of this camera justice - the detail that it captures is truly astounding.
The tech explanation lies in the development of a RYYB sensor which works almost in the reverse to the traditional RGB sensors most phone cameras rely on. The RYYB sensor allows the Huawei P30 Pro to capture 40 per cent more light which means you can quite literally take a shot in the dark (night mode) and end up with a detailed image - it’s like a magic trick. The standard Photo Mode pretty much turned me into Herb Ritts.
Below is a visual example of Huawei P30 Pro wow-ness: I downloaded a picture straight from the phone and had it printed (super cheaply) at AO size.
No re-sizing or enhancement - just phone, printer, wall. Look at the scale compared to me and then look at the detail.
I mean…it’s breathtaking.
