Photographer Rachael Short is based mostly in Carmel, California. He prefers black-and-white photography to color, and mainly uses software tools Hipsatamatic and Snapseed to edit his portraits and landscape shots. Rachael has been in a wheelchair since 2010 when she suffered a spinal injury in a car accident. She suffered a fracture of the fifth thoracic vertebra and underwent long and difficult treatment. After a year of rehabilitation, she gained enough strength to hold any object in her hands.
At the time of her treatment, she received an iPhone 4 as a gift from friends - friends believed that Rachael would be easier to handle with a light smartphone than traditional SLR cameras. “It was the first camera I started using after the accident, and now (the iPhone) is the only camera I use because it's light, small, and easy to use,” Rachael says.
In the past, Rachael used a medium format camera, but taking pictures on a mobile phone is a more suitable solution for her in the current situation. In her own words, shooting on her iPhone allows her to focus more on the images and less on the technique and equipment. "I'm more focused," she says. For the purposes of this year's accessibility day, Rachael took a series of photos in cooperation with Apple on her iPhone XS, you can view them in the photo gallery of the article.
