In 2007, the world was stunned at a just-released futuristic device called the iPhone. A mobile phone without physical keys? There was no middle ground either you loved it or hated it upon seeing the iPhone advertised for the first time. Those polarizing attitudes changed quickly, however, when the public came to see the wisdom of a full touch screen.

Whether they anticipated it or not, Apple quickly realized that its new magical device (to quote Steve Jobs) was quickly becoming one of the worlds most popular cameras! And its easy to see why. Who wouldnt want the immediate gratification of seeing their photos instantly on a large yet pocketable screen? And to have your camera with you all the time? Thats a recipe for a revolution in the world of photography.

So now its time to turn attention to you. Maybe youre someone who feels and understands the soul of a particular place but has a challenging time with the technical side of photography. Or maybe youre the opposite, where you have always found the technical side of things easy, but you struggle with capturing emotion, mood, metaphors, and heart in your photographs. Regardless of what your challenge is, this book is well-suited to help you both master the technical and the artistic sides of iPhone photography. The technical side of the iPhone camera is actually easy to understand, which will free you up to apply creative concepts to each of your images.
