MARCO SAVARESE
Chase Jarvis once famously said, “The best camera is the one you have with you.” These photos were all captured by phones or tablets. The ubiquity and ever-increasing image quality of camera phones make them attractive tools for street photographers. Mobile photography has brought legions of new artists into the fold and even dedicated Leica shooters are branching out and making interesting work with their phones.
