According to new research from UK photo printing giant Max Spielmann, over 90% of daily photos are now captured with smartphones, as opposed to professional or even film cameras.
The company states: ‘In fact, only 7.5% are taken on “proper” cameras.’ The same research revealed that 1.8 trillion photos are taken every year, worldwide, using our phones – or about 4.7 billion a day.
