Art of the iPhone

Visionary mobile photographer Chase Jarvis is often quoted to have said, “The best camera is the one you have with you.” That was true back in 2012, but is even more so now. We finally have an incredibly powerful way to make pictures, right in our pocket! Nowadays, these handy cameras, and the apps that enhance their potential, produce extremely good photographs.

Now my full frame Canon camera is gathering dust. Truly, things are changing, especially with the iPhone 16 Pro and 48 meg files. Apple iOS 18 offers a smooth workflow, efficient processing and convenient way to share your photographs. The handwriting is on the wall: the iPhone is making a photographer’s life easier. 

I am offering a three session workshop at the Wickford Art Association beginning April 19, 2025. I will show you how to get the most out of your iPhone camera AND how to process your images in many new ways. These will be the most informative three hours you will ever spend with your iPhone.

Among other things, you will learn:

• How to sync your “cloud” (Apple and/or Google) so images are safe and available across all your devices.

• About the many hidden features in the amazing Apple “Photos” app.

• Ways to move, share and save pictures back and forth from anything to anything, whether received via email, text or those existing oldies on your computer.

• How to create stunning landscape and architecture photos with your iPhone.

• How to make good macro (close up) photographs with your iPhone.

• How to fashion impressionistic (long exposures) with inexpensive apps.

• Use selected camera apps to extend control over your iPhone.

• Use Snapseed and other useful editing apps (usually ones easier and far less expensive than Adobe products)

• Learn about handy iPhone gear and gadgets that can make mobile life easier.

• You will be introduced to creating or improving your pictures using AI.
