As
students, one thing that our instructors as well as the professional
photographers we have met have tried to teach us: “the best camera to use is
the one you have on you”. There are many times when I do not have my DSLR
camera with me. I do however have my cell phone, with its built in camera with
me at all always.
As a photojournalist this mobility is useful when there is
a need to capture an image right here and now. Some of the examples I have seen
used were of fires and car accidents.

Professional photographer Scott Hall expressed; often he prefers
to use his cell phone camera because it allows him to blend in. “People don’t
pay attention to me when I use my phone. I’m just another guy taking a cell
phone picture. The minute I pull out my camera people start to take notice.”

Cell phone cameras have increased the ability of
photojournalist such as myself, to capture key moments and share them with the
public.
