I am a professional photographer who began taking photos in the days of film. For point of reference, it was 2007 when I switched from shooting film to shooting digital. When shooting film, I would carefully meter the scene, make sure the proper lens was on the camera, compose, shoot, take the completed roll of film to the lab and.....wait. One week to ten days.
Today's cameras embedded into this mini-computer/talisman we carry around, that we insist on calling a "phone", are incredible marvels of modern engineering. So incredible, that people are tempted to document everything through them, until it seems like "me" is the image that is projected to the world, not the identity you share with intimates.
You're not limited to reducing the complicated, dynamic aspects that define "you" to the flat, small image that comes from the camera that comes with your phone. You're welcome to pick up a Nikon or a Canon camera at any time, and see how much richer life looks through its horizontal frame that adheres to the golden ratio.
