Vastly improve your skills at iPhone Photography
Over the last 100 years photography has continued to evolve and change, the latest chapter now being smartphone and iPhone photography. These changes require photographers to continually change, adapt and update their skill base.
This course therefore uses the latest iPhone and the latest software to make sure you are at the absolute forefront of this new exciting avenue of photography and keeps you ahead of the competition.
Content and Overview
This course actively encourages you to get involved, after many lectures there are small tasks set which help you to put into practice what you have just learnt. Although you could just sit and go through all of the lectures, the course is designed to be as practical and fun as possible as well as academic.
The course is split into 4 easy to understand sections – (1) Understanding the software and what you can do with it (2) Some basic principles of photography which will help you to take great photos (3) Learn how to use other equipment when using your iPhone, and (4) Make those great photos even better by showing the power of photo editing.
During the course you will also visit many locations and examine many photographs taken by the lecturer – this makes the course a lot more interesting and fun, rather than it being delivered in a boring “classroom” format.
As well as video lectures so you can see how to do everything, there are also quizzes for you to check your knowledge, and interaction with the lecturer and other students in the online groups – this allows you to share your new skills with others also taking the course and provides support and encouragement for you to keep carrying on and improving even after completing the course.
So by the end of this course you will no longer be bemused when you look at those “Shot on an iPhone” posters and wonder how they got those photos looking so good – why? – because you will be taking those great photos yourself!!!
Whether you need these new skills for your professional work, or you simply want to show off to your friends and family then this course is really for you, in fact, it is the only one you need to look at.
This course was initially shot with an iPhone 7 using iOS 10.

Hi! I'm Michael ("The Appy Teacher") and I love photography and Apps. I am a CCA certified Swift App Developer and have several apps in the App Store, which are being used by thousands of users worldwide. I also build websites for small to medium sized business to help them grow their online presence.
In 2016 I took my passion for coding and and my passion for helping others and became a Udemy instructor. In that time I have successfully taught over 50,000 of you how to do some great things - and for this I am eternally grateful.
Building Apps and Websites has afforded me a great career and opportunity in life. My desire is also to help you have these same opportunities. So why not sign up to one of my courses today. In all of my courses I try to make them as fun as possible, but also to achieve something in a short period of time. There is nothing worse than spending hour after hour just learning theory. In my courses, within the first hour, you will start producing things which may have previously seemed impossible.
I mainly teach in 3 genres - (1) iOS App Development (2) Web Development (3) Photography and Videography. So there is always something new to learn.
On a personal note, I live in Lincoln in the UK, and aside from teaching and developing, I love walking, food, and London!

I was expecting more complex and to be taught things I already didn't know. This course is for someone who has always used android before, if you have spent anytime with the iphone camera, then you know everything that is in this course.

Since, it’s very early on the course, I don’t a clear vision for the rating. So far, the information I’ve seen I already knew. However, I am sure there’s much more I don’t. That’s why I bought this course. Looking forward to learn about those things!

Fairly basic but good way to build up experience and hopefully move on. Only question is how to get the basic grid on photos.
By Laura on 10/25/2017
Too basic, spends too much time explaining and re-explaining things that are obvious and intuitive. When going over more complicated features, he doesn't actually explains them and gives examples, he just reads through.
By George Allen on 7/13/2017
Interesting course, which highlights the various uses of the camera when taking photos. Always learn something from all the courses I take, this one was great because I am starting to use my iPhone camera more when out, than my DSLR.
By Abhishek Kumar Biswas on 6/8/2017
good course, instructor updates the course with new information about new versions of ios when they are available to keep people up-to date with the new features, that's awesome :-)

This course is FANTASTIC! In just the first few lessons, I've learned valuable things about how my iPhone 6 works, and have taken some dramatic shots. Love this course! REVIEW UPDATE - WOW! Thank you so much for this course! This course is so amazing! I now know the secrets of creating amazing photos in just taking this course! Step-by-step, I followed along with each lesson with my iPhone in my hand, and went from average snapshots to incredible photographer! Watch out, Annie Leibovitz! You've got competition now!

Ive learned things i didnt know. Im able to post some of my pics to the group fb page and get feedback, get questioned answered, and see what others are doing with their pics. Lessons are clear, easy to follow and understand.
By Tony Youens on 3/16/2017
A great course and nice personal touch from the presenter (or should it be lecturer). The start is fairly basic but then it needs to be as you obviously can't assume people's level of understanding. Looking forward to the rest of the course.
By Al Berryman on 2/23/2017
I have just done the first three chapters and I am very happy so far. This seems to be a pretty basic course for people like me that are fairly ignorant of how to use the IPhone to take photos.
