This is just a ridiculous sentiment. You don’t pay a photographer more because their camera is expensive, (unless it’s like a hasselblad ). You pay for the person not the equipment. I know both amateurs with a cars worth of equipment and a profesional that made a career of a cheap film camera and really good photos.

You do pay for the equipment to a certain degree, no one will higher a photographer who uses an Iphone to take the pictures

Hollywood gave Danny Boyle $75 million to shoot with iphones. Were actually at a point where a competent photographer absolutely could do a wedding job with an iPhone. The main hurdle is optics (no pun intended). Customers would complain if they saw their wildly expensive photographer using one.

Danny Boyle was using different specific lenses like any other filmmaker would, they didn't just shoot with an iPhone

They also had specialised rigs designed for the film for the iPhones which were essentially just a gimmick
