14 Must Have Apps for the iPhone Photographer

by Bill Jones



Share

The iPhone is great for a number of reasons and one of those reasons is it’s camera. Obviously it does have its limitations and can’t be compared to anything other than camera phones. However, when comparing quality, features, easy of use, and photo management, it’s really at the top of its class.

One other reason the Iphone stands out is its apps and more specifically its photography apps. With these apps you can shoot and process all from within your iPhone.

I have handpicked what I think every iPhone photographer should have installed to really help you get creative and have some fun.

    Too bad I don’t have an iPhone… Maybe the new iPod Touch will come with a camera! That would would rock!

    I think I heard it might.

    Take a look also on i-Toon App. It allows you to apply filters and text ballons on your pictures.

    For now I will stay with my Nikon. Hope they improve but the quality still isnt there.

    I was hoping to find an “expensive SLR with a 70mm f1.8 emulator”, a portrait mode that will blur background and foreground. That would enable us to take stunning portraits where the person stands out. It would only work on the 3GS with autofocus (to figure out what’s actually background/foreground). Maybe this ships with the 3GS, anybody know?

    Not sure that all of these are ‘must have’, but I absolutely love several of them including Camera Bag, Tilt Shift, and Toy Camera.
    Thanks for the post. Tweeting and following now! Cheers!

    Nice list, but it would have been nice if descriptions and prices were included

    Personally the iPhone’s camera will never make the grade, it’s handy but I would never put that much effort into using it as an addition to my existing kit. However, anyone who maybe interested in an iPhone app that may actually be of use to the more decerning photographer try PhotoBuddy!

    No list is should be without ShakeItPhoto and Mill Colour.

    Nice list of apps. CameraBag is on the top of my list. This month put a couple of iPhone images in my gallery and asked a couple of people to point those out… in all instances they got it incorrect.

    Yes still use the Nikon for my work, but the iPhone brings something else into the fold.

    Photo Van Go Vintage also is a great app for color tinting over black + white images or photos. The app automatically converts color images before you begin any colorizing. Nice set of paint tools.

    Great apps! I am going to try a few. Also great apps: shakeitphoto to make polaroids and Hipstamatic for an old look.

    Hipstamatic is my absolute favourite right now – great vintage instamatic look. Also Photoshop.com Mobile is fantastic for applying simple but great adjustments ala Photoshop.

    DashofColor is pretty neat. turns the print black and white and then allows you to draw in the color.

    If you are interested in photography news, then this app maybe good too: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-infos/id375593972?mt=8&uo=6
