Technically, yes. However, our experts do not advise relying solely on smartphone photos for one simple reason: While they are digital, a bunch of smartphone photos are not automatically structured or easily accessible by everyone. Setting up a documentation system based solely on photos requires a lot of additional administrative and processing work. There are easier and more comprehensive methods than this to achieve the desired result.
“Information needs to be digital and structured. Capturing a photo with an iPhone, yes, you have digital information but it’s not defined in a structured way.”
