my thoughts on the iphone 11 pro max

9th October 2019

Around this time last year I had just taken a few boats, a couple of planes and a handful of cars across the world and back. As I stepped out of our taxi onto the driveway my iPhone 10 slid off my lap and went hurtling face down onto the floor like it has done many times since I purchased it. But this would be the time that I pick the phone up to find the inevitable has finally happened, a well placed stone on our gravel driveway had smashed the screen into tiny pieces. Luckily for me it was still fully usable and there was no immediate need for me to fork out the £200+ to have the screen replaced, so we made things work. A few months later the same thing happened again, except this time the phone landed on its back on my office floor, again it had smashed into lots of tiny pieces, it wasn’t wearing a protective case so obviously NOW I went and got one so that my hands were protected from the razor sharp pieces of glass and still the phone was usable. I could hold out until the new iPhone was released.

As the release date loomed I had the sudden realisation of what comes with the buzz of a new iPhone release. How would I even get my hands on one? People camp outside stores just to get one, there was just no way! But a week or so after launch, I logged onto the Apple website, purchased my new Gold iPhone 11 Pro Max and walked into the store 2 hours later to pick it up. It was the dream!

The downside was that I had to set it up myself, I’m the kind of Apple customer that likes it all done for me, A. so it doesn’t use my internet and B. because nothing goes wrong. It wasn’t an easy set up and I’m still filling in all the blanks now but having used the new iPhone 11 Pro max for the last few weeks I now can’t live without it. The camera capabilities are so much better than my previous iPhone 10 and the ability to swap between focal lengths in the blink of an eye have made it an Essential part of my job when it comes to capturing and creating content.

I realised its power at Paris fashion week this season. As I sat front row at Elie Saab (that sounds incredibly snazzy but as you know, I don’t often do shows so I felt incredibly lucky to be there) I was able to put the camera to the ultimate test capturing up close details, wide shots of the long flowing gowns and beautiful shallow depth of field professional looking shots at the touch of a button (Watch the vlog here), with a swift turn of the camera I was then able to capture B roll for my vlogs where I would otherwise be constantly flipping between my phone and canon G7X awkwardly. The quality of filming matches my Vlogging camera and fits into the normal format seamlessly making it a great option for capturing moments on the go for vlogs that I maybe wouldn’t feel comfortable getting a proper camera out for. Everyone uses their iPhone these days but getting a vlogging camera out often makes people stare and it also makes vlogging moments in busy public areas a lot easier (providing you don’t get other people in of course). Its a much more discreet tool to have in your camera kit, I have found its even more discreet than the Osmo Pocket which I thought was going to be game changing but I find actually just prompts more questions as its so strange looking haha.

Obviously as its a new phone there are some glitches, OK so maybe there are quite a few. I mean, its definitely not running smoothly which is to be expected but even I’m shocked by just how glitchy! However I’m confident that as always, they will be ironed out as the new software is released. But I’ve found it massively help with my job as an online creator and improved my efficiency with my content because one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job is capturing those little moments, funny jokes between friends, split second take your breath away moments or even just the feel of a location so that it really feels like I’m taking my audience a long with me.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
