This Photographer Took 30,000 Photos Across 16 Different iPhones, And Here Are 27 Results

It all began at home. In 2010, Eran photographed his older daughter, Mia, asleep on the sofa, along with her reflection in a mirror. The files were tiny, just a few hundred pixels across, but the way of seeing was already there. "The phone recorded a few megapixels; what it caught was attention," he shared in an interview with Bored Panda.

From the living room, the photographer moved to the beaches and streets of Tel Aviv. He works close to the ground, at the water's edge and sometimes in the water itself, waiting for the moment a puddle flips a street upside down or the low sun turns a passerby into a silhouette. After rain, buildings, palm trees, and people appear twice, once standing and once reflected, and those mirror images have become his signature.

Over time, the family joined the frame as well: younger daughter Emma, leaping along the shoreline or walking upside down through a puddle's reflected sky, and Dylan, the family dog, who now has an Instagram account of his own.

"Most iPhone photography stories show what one new phone can do," Eran said. "This archive shows something rarer: what sixteen generations of iPhone made possible in the hands of the same artist, in the same city." The camera kept changing. The eye behind it never did.
