One of the nice things about photography is that you don’t need an expensive camera or exotic lenses to produce good photos. Although such gear ensures the best image quality, to some degree that need has been nullified by the way today’s photos are shared. When viewed on a high-res smar

Camera phones have certainly come a long way. A few years ago it was impossible to try to achieve good photos with the camera that came with your smartphone. The quality and resolution were so low that we didn’t even think about post-processing and posting our photos. The iPhone has had stead

A Guest Post by Misho Baranovic – author of our new iPhone Photography eBook. The iPhone has revolutionised the ability to shoot, edit and share your photographs on one device. For many photographers, both amateur and professional, this integrated process has given them the freedom to experime

Three weeks ago dPS launched our brand new ‘iPhone Photography‘ eBook – a resource to help those of you who use iPhones to create beautiful images with the camera they always have with them. Since then we’ve seen a lot of positive reviews of the eBook coming in (see below) an

All photographers go through a lifecycle; those distinct stages from new photographer through to seasoned shutter bug. It definitely happened to me and, looking back, my one embarrassing stage was the camera kit snob stage. I’m not going to dwell on it, but suffice to say, it was a pretty cri

StickyAlbums is, at its heart, a tool for generating word-of-mouth referrals for professional photographers. As you will see in this review, the system is not set up for the casual photographer, as the free version is more of a means of introduction and trial than it is a full blown service, like gm

If you love mobile device camera filters and special effects, you need not keep reading. This post takes a look at a new photo app for iOS (sorry Android users, it’s not ported there yet) devices that got me to switch off of using Photoshop Express, my previously preferred image editing app. T

When you think about smartphone photography what comes to mind? My guess is you probably think about Instagram, photo filters, bad selfies and any number of other keywords that describe this new wave of photography. Today, I’m going to share a few tips on how you can improve your smartphone p

No, I am NOT telling you that you should replace your DSLR with your iPhone. So, let’s be clear on that. Having an iPhone thought does give you a new market to tap into and a new perspective on your photography and your style. Just a few short years ago, every client started asking for web siz

It’s amazing how quickly things change. There was a time in the not-too-distant past when nobody really took camera phones all that seriously. I can even remember a heated debate about eight years ago in which a friend of mine– a seventh-generation photographer whose great grandfather ph

If you post amazing professional-quality photographs to your website and nobody can access them, are they really that amazing? Nobody will know. All that hard work, focus, determination, and artistic ability -POOF – all for nothing. This is exactly what is happening to many very talented photo

In the early 90s I was just a kid, and I remember watching a VHS tape about photography lighting with the great Dean Collins. I was truly amazed with the way things were arranged in the studio and how he placed the light. This was magic to me, and Dean Collins was the magician. I watched it over and

When our wonderful editor Darlene asked me to write an article comparing camera types my first thought was to show you a series of photos just like the following, and ask you to guess which ones were taken, with which cameras. It’s a fun idea, so let’s do it. This is the list of cameras

If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram or Flickr and seen an incredible close-up photograph of a flower, insect, or even jewelry, you may have wondered how you can get similar photos, especially if you don’t have a camera. Thankfully, you don’t have to buy a DSLR or expensive ma

Not too long ago I did some experimenting with my camera, an apple, and an iPhone in order to get a shot that is fairly unique in my collection. It’s clearly not a professional-quality image and you wouldn’t find it in a museum or other curated collection, but the process of making this

What’s the most useful camera gear you carry with you? This is the most common question asked of photographers. Many will say a tripod or perhaps a lens, but how many people would have answered a Smartphone? Well, I’m sure there were more than a few. The moment I saw the potential of sma

We are living in a time where ‘convergence’ is everywhere. Gone are the days when a camera was a camera, a MP3 player was an MP3 player, a phone was a phone…. These days digital cameras are found in a variety of other gadgets – including cell phones. In fact Camera Phones a

My first Upload Lately I’ve been using the Instagr.am App on my iPhone and it has been a lot of fun. In this post I’m going to briefly share some reasons why I’m enjoying using it and talk a little about my Instagr.am workflow. But before I get into that: Firstly – if you&

My name is James, and I am an iPhone App junkie. I’m always scouring through the app store looking for cool new apps that will blow me away or make my life easier. The greatest thing about these things is that most of them are only $1-$2, so what’s the harm in trying them out every now a
