Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog which is an online companion to my new book, Capturing Better Photos and Video with your iPhone. I'll be posting tips, tricks, and advice on making your iPhone photos the best that they can be as well as introducing and reviewing apps.

The iPhone has pretty much revolutionized camera phone photography. Previous to the iPhone there were other phones that had cameras built in, and even now there are phones that have more advanced cameras than the iPhone has. Still, the iPhone has a cult-like following and lots of photographers, even seasoned professionals, are using the iPhone to make Compelling images. The previous statement may lead you to ask why the iPhone is commanding such attention from photographers. The answer short and simple is, the apps.

The best apps don’t hide the shortcomings of the iPhone’s camera, but they add something to the picture that makes it better. Whether it’s simulating a toy camera, converting the image to black and white or sepia, adding a photo frame, a good app is an enhancement to the iPhone photo.

We must not forget that no matter how good the camera or the app there must be a photographer to make the picture. Composition, framing, and lighting play a key role in any photography and the more you know about it the better your photos will be. This is why I'll be throwing in photo tips that tie in with the iPhone as well.  I intend to make this blog a great resource for all iPhone photographers.

Enjoy.
