`Dedication
`For Dianne
`
`Acknowledgments
`So many people helped transform this from an idea into a book. Thanks to Bill
`Pollock, the publisher of No Starch Press, for going for the idea, and to my edi-
`tor, Tyler Ortman, for his commitment to the book and keen advice and guidance
`along the way. Thanks to the entire No Starch Press crew for their creativity and
`dedication to the craft of book publishing. Special thanks to my parents for buying
`me that Konica T-4 back in 1978 and to my dad for keeping assorted photographic
`gadgetry around the house and inspiring me with his own love of photography.
`Much appreciation and love to my wife, Dianne Rosky, for her advice, enthusiasm,
`and steadfast support, and to our kids, Ruby and Levi, for making everything worth
`it. Thanks to my brother, Dan, for the geeky conversation and creative ideas. Mark
`Aldrin Bantigue, Sean Kaufman, and Jessica Romero provided creative and organi-
`zational support along the way. iPhone photography wouldn’t even exist except for
`the innovators behind apps like TiltShift Generator, PictureShow, Hipstamatic, and
`scores of others.

`Introduction
`
`As everyone knows, the iPhone is far more
`than a phone. It’s an e-book reader, a gaming
`device, a music player, and even a tool for bank-
`ing and blogging. And it’s a camera, too—a
`rather extraordinary one. Millions now use the
`iPhone camera as their camera of choice, snap-
`ping images of their buddies’ hijinks, their kids’
`birthdays, and just about anything else crossing
`their line of vision. But it’s one thing to use the
`iPhone for occasional snapshots and another
`to explore the wondrous possibilities of iPhone
`photography. Yes, camera phones are every-
`where, but the iPhone camera is in a class of
`its own, largely because of the innovative and
`breathtakingly varied photography apps avail-
`able for it. With these apps, you’re able to
`transform your iPhone camera into a fun and
`inspirational tool for photographic creativity.
`This book tells you how.

`

`The fans of iPhone photography are a varied bunch, from casual photogra-
`phers experimenting with photo booth apps to teenagers documenting their lives
`with the camera in their pockets. Even professional photographers have become
`obsessed with the iPhone camera, wowed by its ability to replicate effects and
`techniques previously requiring costly gear, a photo studio, and a digital dark-
`room. This book is for anyone with an iPhone camera who’s looking for advice,
`tips, and tools to make the most of the iPhone’s camera and its photographic
`capabilities. You have an iPhone? You use its camera? Then this book is for you.
`It’ll give you straightforward, accessible how-to advice to help you take awesome
`iPhone photos.

`
`iPhone Basics
`This book assumes you’ve already fooled around with your iPhone and learned
`how it works. In particular, it assumes you know how to perform essential opera-
`tions with your iPhone, such as tapping the iPhone screen to open an app. (For
`complete newbies, a free iPhone manual is available at http://www.apple.com/
`support/iphone/.) Of course, even if you know how to us
