Apple – “Hometown,” shot on iphone-12 Pro
To celebrate Black History Month, Apple commissioned more than 30 Black photographers to capture and share their hometowns with the world through their unique lens, all shot on iphone-12 Pro. All across the US, these photographers set out to showcase the people and the pockets of their cities that embody their local culture.
For Julien James, a local photographer in Washington, D.C., iphone-12 Pro helped him expand the world around his subjects. “iPhone is my favorite camera to shoot with because it’s in my pocket and I can take it anywhere,” he says. “I typically shoot at 50 millimeters because it’s the closest to the human eye. I want everything I shoot to represent or be as close as possible to what we see naturally, so I was surprised to really see how iphone-12 Pro actually shot Ultra Wide.”
From Washington, D.C., the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, Manhattan Beach in Southern California, Downtown Detroit, and the Bronx, New York, five photographers give a glimpse into their local communities.
