The Emerging Art Form of iPhoneography

When the first Apple iPhone was released in 2007, no one could have imagined that its release would usher in a new era in art, one in which anyone could create beautiful images taken and edited all on their phone. As users realized the quality of images the iPhone produced, it quickly became the device of choice for many mobile photographers, or iPhoneographers. Within a few years, professional and amateur photographers alike used their iPhones to capture landscapes, portraits and even scenes from war using nothing but their iPhone.
Take pictures. Take a lot of pictures. The only way to get comfortable using your iPhone as a camera is to practice. Get a feel for how you’re most comfortable holding the camera. Figure out if you prefer to use the on screen camera button or the volume button on the side of the phone to trigger the shutter. Invest in some hardware (like a tripod mount for your phone) that will help you take the best pictures possible. Consider purchasing lenses for your phone to give you a wide angle, fisheye, and macro option for shooting (the Olloclip is a particular favorite of iPhoneographers). Finally, find editing apps to help you create incredible iPhone-only images.
