With the Xperia 1 III, it’s so easy to take high quality images wherever I go. My name is Andy Mann. I’m a Sony Artisan of Imagery. Today we’re taking the Sony’s Xperia 1 III up into the Rocky Mountains to shoot two very famous rock climbers – Matty Hong and Margo Hayes. On a classic route called “Edge of Time”. We’re setting out today to make images.
We’re not documenting rock climbing. we want to make an image that inspires other people to get outside, inspires other people to tie in and go rope climbing, inspire friends to go have fun in the mountains. and inspire photographers to do this kind of thing; which is hedge the best light, hedge the best climber, find the location, and make the image you want to make. Look, I love a good challenge. We’re going up there with a smartphone today, but of course I’d like to go up with my big cameras; but that’s not the point.
The point is that this phone can take amazing pictures. How amazing can they be? You don’t know unless you take it out, take it on a real adventure. You try to make some images that you would love to make with a Sony’s Alpha camera. Sony was like, “there’s the new Xperia, take it out, shoot some images go have an adventure, tell a story. ” And that’s what we’re here doing.
It’s awesome because this phone – the fact that it’s that small, it’s that good – and you have the four lens ranges, is a huge advantage, especially when you’re alone on the wall, trying to capture rock climbing. Often you don’t get two chances. You get your angle, you sort of pick it, and you camp there. The versatility was really awesome to have today And more than anything it was an excuse to get outside, and be in the mountains – which is amazing. I’m super grateful, it was a super fun day, and I hope everyone loves the images we got.
