iPhone 14 Pro - Two Weeks Photographer's Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- I wanted to make a bit different video than my typical film photography and portrait-oriented videos, so when I got the new iPhone 14 Pro a few weeks ago, it was the perfect excuse to do my own version of a tech/product review. I brought the phone to the Washington Coast, as well as the North Cascades, with a few spots in between - testing out things like the new 48 Megapixel sensor, and plenty of other interesting software and hardware updates to this year's model.
I plan on recording and uploading a PART TWO video soon covering portraits shot on the iPhone 14 Pro, as well as some of the specs I didn't get to as much as I wanted in PART ONE.

The color grading throughout this entire video is absolutely stunning. You deserve a million subs
Gosh I appreciate that so much!! Have to give a ton of credit to the A7S III, that camera with the right color pipeline is just fantastic for color. Thanks again 🙏🏼
I would describe this video as a breath of fresh air in today's TH-cam. You've done a great job and combined with your extensive knowledge,which is prevalent not only through your speech but also the "depth" of your photos and your video, you have the prospect of making this channel a big deal in the field of photography. Also the shooting location plays a vital role in my opinion, so opting for national parks is a wonderful idea. I'm glad to be here almost from the beginning! Keep up the good work, wish you the best!
Wow this is one of my favorite comments ever! I'm thrilled that you have that perception of the content and the delivery.
great video! this is the kind of camera review that I want.. All the other big reviewers show boring random shots which doesn't really show the capabilities. well done
Really appreciate it! I'm pretty new to making videos but wanted to give a phone review a shot, and ended up having a lot of fun in the process!
Iphones are still not good at HDR processing. You should give pixel 7 pro a shot if you can get hands on , would love to see comparison and ur opinion on both.
I can see what you mean, I'm definitely curious how some other leading manufactures handle HDR. The Pixel 7 looks really impressive too. Maybe I can get my hands on one sometime to try it out!
Pixel overdoes the HDR, a lot of the time it looks terrible. Shadows and bright sky's are good a lot of the time, it's finding that balance
The iPhone intentionally goes for a slightly higher contrast. And by going for the brighter shot, it can clip highlights . I think Apple doesn't ever want people to get one of those grungy dark photos due to bright sun/sky
Pixel remove every shadow.how is that good hdr? You cant get shadows naturally even if you want too. Their processing is too much even skies show details and outline that are not even there. It doesnt look natural
The pixel 7 has horrendous processing. The images are also heavily post processed and over sharpened. The portrait mode is a joke, the natural low light picture and video quality is abysmal. The only place it performs on par or better than the iPhone is super low light. The positives of the 14 pro max camera massively outweigh the slight difference on HDR, which is what it is. The iPhone blows out the highlights a bit to capture great shadow detail, while the pixel keeps the highlights in check, but have dark, under exposed and lifeless shadows. I’d take the blown out highlights any day, so at least I know my subject will still look good and bright, unlike the pixel where the picture will have a dull unusable foreground but a slightly better sky.
Really love the way you present this. It gives a fresh take on how to utilise the tools given, and not always like how people would like (always pitting one against the other to see who's better).
I'll be sure to tune in for your other tutorials! Thanks a bunch!
That’s amazing feedback, that’s definitely one of the big intentions for this video!
The way you present this video is definitely different compared to other review videos. I love it man. Your style of making these videos are something worth mentioning. Keep it up 😊
How on earth do you not have 100k+ subs. This video is fantastic. Anyone who has enjoyed this video should sub to this guy when he’s putting that much effort in to make such a high level video.
Means a ton to hear you say that man! The channel is relatively new but I have big hopes for where it could go!
These landscape shots are incredible. Looking forward to your portrait shots.
Thanks so much! 🙌🏼 and for sure stay tuned! Probably coming in the next few weeks
Understanding light condition and you end up with a great iPhone pic with HDR. 😅 time-machine within sunrise and sunset
you weren't lying. This video is unique and I just love everything about it. More of this content would bring me pure joy.
Wow thank you! Really glad you enjoyed this one, I'm looking forward to doing some more gear reviews as well as trips, landscape, portrait, etc!
The color grading on the intro / talking part of the video is so good!!! Great in depth review of the new iphone! Love your work always!!
Always appreciate you man! Glad you liked the intro, those colors on the coast are just unreal
Awesome video, i'm just wondering why it's not in 4k.
I had an issue with the upload, super bummed as this was supposed to be 4K, all future videos will be
It’s been a tough day for me, but this video inspires me.
I'm really glad to hear that, you're welcome on the channel anytime! Thanks for stopping by
The talking head shots in this video are crisp. Love it man! Super insightful info on the new iPhone 14. It’s like a deep dive that was super interesting to watch
Thanks a ton dude. It was challenging to try this different format but I'm really enjoying the learning curve. I'm using this as a stepping stone and who knows, maybe next year I can do another iPhone review for the 15 and step it up to a whole different level!
I love the background music. Very nostalgic.
Thanks so much!
@@torreymerritt reminds me of the videos I used to watch when I first got started on my photography journey. Makes me look back at those great times.
Great job man keep going 🌟
Really appreciate the comment! I'm feeling more inspired to get back into TH-cam lately, winter is a tough time in Washington for creating but as spring approaches I'll have better conditions to film!
😂 The background sound in the beginning of the video. I really thought it was mij stomach. 😂
The level of content creation you maintain is gonna take you a 100K subscribers in a year easily. All the best!! So amazing cinematography..!!!
I can’t thank you enough man seriously. The feedback means the world!
5xx subscribers ? Man U definitely deserve wayyy moreee than that ! Great content. !
Thanks so much man, the channel is pretty new but it’s great hearing the good feedback!
One day I will be one of your newer videos and say that I was here before 1M mark my words this video its perfect!!
Wow! Honored to have you say that thanks so much!
Thanks Torrey- good to find you! Geoff
Thanks so much Geoff!
All the pictures that you showed in the video, they are awesome.
Very kind of you, thank you!
so beautiful and breath taking images, stunning video!
I just got my new iPhone 14 pro today and wanted to learn more about the camera, looking forward to your next video!
Thanks so much for checking it out! I'm behind on making the next video but will try my best to get that out!
Really looking forward to the second part of this review!
I really need to finally get along to recording it! I've been in a bit of a creative slump this Winter, but feeling more inspired heading into Spring!
Bro you are missing out on some super growth here - you need to release that part 2!
You're 100% right man, I've dropped the ball on the iPhone vids, as the weather gets much better here in Washington I'm planning on finally getting some more iPhone content published!
Rialto beach and the drive out there from Kitsap is one of the most relaxing drives I had the pleasure of taking when I lived in Washington, it’s hard to do it justice through pictures and video but these definitely bring me back!
I love hearing that! It's really such a beautiful drive and area overall I totally agree
dude !! the photos are literally impressive🤩🤩
Thanks so much!
Yooo how do you only have 1.2k subs the video quality is just amazing.
Thanks so much for the feedback! This was my first video where I tried to make something a bigger audience my search for, and glad I did it!
Your editing and photographing skill is something else! Can’t wait to see part 2
Thanks for stopping by and the kind words! Definitely want to get part 2 done here soon hoping to get some content this weekend
wow! i love the vibe of the video, perfect aesthetic. and btw i am an iphone only photographer for two years now and i work with fashion... really impressed with the 14 pro that i just got!
So glad you like the vibe of the video! That’s super cool that you’re an iPhone only photographer, have you thought about doing your own review?
@@torreymerritt yeah i guess i will 🤍
The first minute of this video got me interested to finish and watch the other parts, so glad you made this 😍
So glad you checked it out! I'm looking forward to making more!
Love your video quality. You sir earn my subscription
Much appreciated man!
I really loved ur editing style and BGM touch , I'll be waiting for the comparison with pixels 7 pro and s22ultra i can see the potential of the channel will not be surprised to the subscribers and the views boom on ur channel....
Really glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks so much. I typically make videos about film photography but I want to make room for some product and tech reviews for sure with this approach because I just don't see much of it on YT
that first clip looks surreal wow
That spot at Rialto Beach is a favorite of my for sure!
Excellent video. 😎
Waiting to see the other videos you will make. You just gained a new follower.
Cheers man! So glad you liked this one and I'm excited to keep sharing more! And thanks for the Sub!
Keeping it real. Love your approach and excellent high production video. Thank you
Thanks so much for the feedback!!
Man these shots are so beautiful. Especially that cinematic video of the beach. Full on beautiful.
Thank you! I can't believe how well that beach shot turned out in cinematic mode, super impressed!
@@torreymerritt it actually looked amazing 😍
Awesome video. Never have I seen a video on youtube dedicated for the iphone camera. Great effort for making this video. Waiting for the second part.
So glad you liked it! I'm hoping to film the second part in about a week!
you are so pro for only having 1k subs. wish you the best
The feedback means the world, thank you!!
It feels like a green screen! The background is really beautiful!
The Washington coast is super beautiful for sure!
I’m BLOWM AWAY by the beauty of those places! Great video!
Washington is truly stunning! Lucky to call this place home!
Video Quality is breathtaking brother!💯 You’ll be at 100k in no time🙌🏼
Seriously appreciate the feedback thank you man!
How do you have 496 subs.. your content is superb.
The channel is pretty new! But seriously means a ton to hear that, thank you!
Well done review. I'm waiting on my 14 pro in the mail and I'm excited to have the quick shot ability of an iPhone, especially in stormier conditions, vs lugging around full frame
It's the first phone camera where I feel like it can serve the purpose of an everyday carry-around. Thanks for the comment!
Man, You are the god of color grading. So SO natural!! Subscribed.
Wow thank you! I know a bit of color grading but definitely the natural beauty and a nice color managed workflow in DaVinci Resolve helps a lot too
This production is amazing
Love hearing that feedback! This channel is still really new but I'm so glad you found the production value up to par.
The color grading & your aesthetic is 💯💯
Love the feedback, thank you!
3 mins in & u were right about ur review, it is for sure different.. this is ur craft & i agree about the 35mm that would be so nice 😭. ima keep watching.. thanks for the video
Thanks for the lovely comment and for stopping by!
Can't wait for your iphone 14 pro portrait review! amazing video!
Thanks so much! I’m excited to work on it, hoping to capture some content this weekend
only channel i watch in full screen because the quality is top notch
Wow means a lot!! I'm so bummed the 4K upload didn't work on this one or it would have been even nicer to watch but thanks again for the compliment!
Just subscribed bro....the visual are unrealistic... keep up the good job 👍👍. I'm like WOW
Appreciate it a lot man, I definitely have some nice landscapes around me to help out videos like this!
you have really quality content. surprised that you dont have at least 200k sub
Wow what a huge compliment! Means the world!
The channel is still really new, I've only made about 8 videos so far but I'm hoping to reach a lot more people in the coming months and years!
@@torreymerritt Well good like to you. you can achieve it with reviews like that in such quality
What a beautiful place!
It really is, Washington is a gem!
Quality of this vedio is just❤ thanks for sharing iPhone versatility
So glad you think so! Appreciate it
This type of review. Excellent
Super glad you liked it thank you!
Savage footage... just picked up mine and can't wait to see what I can do with it. Was there much post work to the footage?
So stoked you liked some of the shots man! Great question about the post work, I barely did anything to the footage except typically dropped the overall exposure of each clip a hair, removed a tiny bit of sharpening, and added a glow effect in DaVinci Resolve at a very low opacity. No adjustments to the colors or really anything else
wow man. your video, your editing and above all the quality and the place where u filmed is beautiful. I wish u the best and I can't wait to see more videos like this one.
Thanks so much man! Really appreciate that feedback. I'm hoping to create the iPhone part 2 video here fairly soon!
Tbh , it tooks me only 1 min to press that subscribe button , you deserve much more than this , great job and great review , Thanks for this ♥
Thanks so much for the kind words and sub! Looking forward to finally getting back into TH-cam after a few month break
Awesome video. How could I not see this before. Definitely subscribing. Love it! Much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Really glad you stumbled onto it, thanks so much and welcome to the channel!
Absolutely stunning pictures, love your style and vision!
I really appreciate that thank you!
48 MP only happens when at 1x zoom. All other zooms shot at 12 MP
dude ur channel deserves some appreciation..keep up with the good work..
p.s. clean n slick photography skills 🔥
Thanks a ton!
Well done man, great video! Stunning images you’ve captured, just picked one of these up after seeing what the camera’s capable of doing. Looking forward to part 2!
Thanks so much man! It's a killer camera for sure hope you enjoy it!
love your video man. you earned a new follower. super clean, short and informative. nothing like the other reviews ive watched
I love hearing that feedback, thanks so much for the sub!
Photography dedicated review at 1080p is wrong on so many levels. The compression destroys all the detail.
Apologies! Was supposed to upload in 4k
Great review, stunning shots, amazing location :D
Looking forward to the next parts!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m hoping to get the next part done in about a week or two!
your video quality is out of this world .. great job
Means a lot to hear thank you!
This is such a great video! So relaxing to watch! Amazing!!
Being relaxing to watch was a big goal of mine! That’s really cool to hear you say that!
Still waiting for part 2
Appreciate the interest and the patience! I got into a bit of a slump this winter but I'm feeling more inspired as spring approaches to make some more videos on the subject!
Awesome overview, excited to see the future video releases on the series.
It’s so good to have you along man! The 2nd video is taking longer than I wanted the weather really turned for the worse here in Washington but I’m still planning to get it done!
this video looks life someones life who have a lot of free time
Hey there! I recorded this across a few weekend and made some mess ups so had to re record even, pretty new to TH-cam so this took extra work to finish 😅
Finally the honest speaking, indoub i felt the low light is still poor against an android 2020 flagship. Ip advertisment have some problem i guess.
I wish I could provide a direct comparison, but glad you found this helpful!
love this video
Thanks so much for stopping by!
This video is perfection. I would love to see how you edited these photos in post.
Subscribed!
I'd love to do an editing breakdown so stay tuned!
Your comment about the 35mm and 50mm equivalent “lenses” had me thinking could a third party app tap in to the 48mp sensor the same way Apple does to produce the 2x “lens” and label it 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm. Each would be a 12mp crop from the full 48mp sensor
This would be the next best solution for the current hardware! I definitely still want a dedicated 35mm or 50mm true optical lens, maybe someday!
It would be great if you could share some of the pictures you take for us to use as wallpaper. Some shots in the video are amazing. Nice review!
Any shots in particular? Maybe I will!
This is going to blow out. Great video bro! Keep it up. Hopefully next video u can use the Xiaomi 12T pro
The video is definitely my most viewed so far! Thank you!
just got my iphone 14 pro last week😊
Congrats on the 14 Pro! Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks so much to everyone for checking out the video. I just noticed that the 4K version didn't upload properly but all of my future videos will be uploaded in 4K.
Hello all! A little update a year later, while I wasn't able to make a part two, I just realized my iPhone 15 Pro Max video :) check it out here if you'd like: th-cam.com/video/fw4egrlf7t4/w-d-xo.html
Get Pixel 7 pro and forget about iphone
ur famous bro :3
keep it up
Honestly, I just got the Pixel 7 Pro. And sent it back within time limit to get a refund. Screen was awful and the camera wasn’t as realistic or sharp as my iPhone 12 Pro! Upgrading to the 14 Pro instead.
Not shitting on the Pixel or an apple fanboy or anything like that. I was just very dissatisfied with my purchase
You did great! Love the video
when is part 2 coming out? Really enjoyed this video
how is this channel only 1.4k subs?!
Excellent footage Dude. Feels like a place in heaven 😊
The Washington coast and also the mountains in this state are really beautiful, thanks for the comment!
Keep it up bro... Ur video production is very good
Thanks for the feedback! I'm looking forward to making more!
Here’s something else I would like to see. The ability to switch between 48 and 12mp for the ProRaw files without leaving the app.
Apple 100% needs to add that, it’s super frustrating to have to dive into settings just to switch that!
@@torreymerritt I wonder if it could be done with a Shortcut routine (I don’t know how to build those) or if one of the third-party apps is able to do it from within their app
It can be done without leaving the app. You can fix it in the camera settings where you can have the ‘raw’ and ‘macro’ toggle switch on the main screen while you are using. You can also set it so that the same settings you are using don’t go back to reset after you take some shots and close your camera app.
@@danu6718 yes, you can indeed toggle Raw on and off right in the Camera App, but if you want to switch between ProRAW 12mp and 48mp you have to go into Settings -> Camera -> Formats -> ProRAW Resolution
@@mich8261 ok, gotcha’👍
Great content Torrey😍❤️👍👏
Thanks so much!
Clean video bro and the color grading is sick af keep on going 🔥
So glad you like it man, and will do!
we need to see the part 2 lols
Hey there! I sadly never got to a part two on the 14 Pro really bummed about that but I did just upload a brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max video!
th-cam.com/video/fw4egrlf7t4/w-d-xo.html
I still try to get used to the main lens being 24 instead of 26mm. To me it feels significantly more wide angle-y when it comes to distortion/compression etc. and it's sometimes too much for a main lens in my opinion. Other than that I love the iPhone 14 Pro's camera. Your photography is absolutely top notch by the way. Fantastic video, great color grading, great moods you have created. Incredible what such capable hands can do with a phone-camera nowadays. :)
For a walk around lens it’s much too wide for me as well, I absolutely prefer something like 35mm for those everyday shots
And thanks a a ton that means a lot!!
Great review with stunning images! (and handsome guy) 😍 Subscribed!
Haha hey thanks so much! Glad you liked the video!
Just fell into this vid; I have the 12 pro max and 'looking' for an upgrade to use the image / videography to aid my new channel. Really like the style you have and your approach (which is something I need to address for my channel). I have subscribed and Liked 🏴
Looking forwards to part II
Thanks so much for stopping by and for the kind words!
Beautiful scenery.❤
Washington is a true gem!
Thanks for this great video!
My pleasure!
This video is amazing!
Thank you! :)
Your videos are really high quality and it is very inspiring! Definitely subscribing !
Means a lot, welcome to the channel!
Can u review s22 ultra?? U got abundance of knowledge.. Loved this log👌👌
So glad you think so! I don’t currently have access to that phone but as this channel grows I certainly might start incorporating other phones
Great review ..congrats!
Hey thanks for tuning in!
Bro I mean how can the production quality of this channel be so op. You are at just 450 subs ? This channel is too underrated. Keep grinding , you will surely gain a huge load of subs soon.
P.s. you should compare the iPhone to the pixel 7 pro and the Samsung s22 ultra.
That's really great to hear you appreciate the work put in! I definitely want to grow the channel to close out 2022 and then focus a lot in 2023.
If I can get my hands on a Pixel 7 and/or the S22 Ultra I'd love to do a review
great video hope you have a great future
Thanks so much and take care!
Torrey, keep up the good work!!! Was the video aesthetically pleasing? Hell yeah! Was it informative in this day and age, where everybody's rushing? I'm not sure. I'm at 3 minute mark and there's almost no review, just the facts from the Apple keynote. Viewers will stay for the "look" but that's probably not what you're looking for)
I appreciate the feedback a lot. Before this video I had 200 subs so I’m still learning the ins and outs of making these! My goal is to make an iPhone video each year there is a new model and to (hopefully) drastically improve year to year!
I like the color grading in this video. So moody.
By any chance, why does telephoto lens have slower aperture if it has longer focal length?
On iPhone 11 Pro, it has 52 mm f/2.0, on iPhone 12 Pro Max, it has 65 mm f/2.2, and on iPhone 14 Pro, it has 77 mm f/2.8
For everyday usage, it really struggles in low light
Thanks for the feedback on the color grading!
So I'm no expert in lenses by any means but typically longer focal lengths are pretty challenging to engineer to also have fast apertures while maintaining high image quality.
And also, the aperture of a lens doesn't always tell the full story in terms of its capability. A lens with a slightly slower f-stop when paired with a larger sensor, with larger pixels, can often take a higher quality image than a smaller sensor paired with a slightly faster f-stop.
I do agree that almost any phone on the market still struggles with low light telephoto capture, but things are improving and headed a decent direction!
this videos great, youve earned a subscriber
Very much appreciate the view and the sub! Thanks again
You went viral with this video man! Don’t let this episode define your channel, I also have a channel and I imagine what my feelings will be if one of my videos go viral like yours. Anyway, you do an excellent job, keep going! Keep it up! Well done!
Wow I really appreciate that! I'm looking forward to making more videos soon!
