iPhone in the lens

By The Crest Magazine03/06/20112 Mins Read

After my post the earlier this week about iPhoneography in South Africa, I started getting in touch with a couple of iPhoneographers in South Africa who I have started finding. The quality of some of these guys and girls is absolutely amazing, and I am looking forward to showcasing them here over the next couple of weeks.

First up is Shawn Borcherding. Shawn hails from Cape Town, and has some amazing iPhone Photography.

What are your “must-have” apps in your iPhone camera bag?

ProHDR ($1.99)
TrueHDR ($1.99)
PhotoFX ($2.99)
PictureShow ($1.99)
PhotoForge2 has just been released ($0.99 for today only, otherwise $4.99)
CrossProcess ($1.99)

How many camera apps do you have on your iPhone?

I recently removed a whole lot, however my usable ones that I have kept is 31!! Then there are my video Apps which I consider part of iPhoneography. The Video app count is 11.

I got into iPhoneography when I saw how versatile and potentially powerful the iPhone and its apps are together. Once I downloaded apps, I discovered that one can really think out the box when creating imagery on the device. As I started experimenting, the techniques, new routines and understanding of what the apps are doing becomes very addictive and exciting. Personally I’m not into the press a button effect.

Must have iPad apps

To create original post processed images is possible because there are such amazing apps. iPhone users are very lucky to have a “realtime” photo processing studio in our hands at anytime. Where the iPhoneography has been a big interest to me is also in my field of work. The post production industry requires very high standards of creative quality media. Having the iPhone is truly amazing to utilise for work and requires me to make sure that what I get out of it is matching up to usable industry standard material for my work.

What’s your favourite subject to shoot with the iPhone?

Definitely pretty girls, however besides that I would say general lifestyle shots and scenes where I can experiment with composition and lighting a lot. I usually take pics of anything that I find is beautiful.
