3 iPhone Apps Every Photographer Should Own

I've been shooting more and more with my iPhone.  First of all because its always with me, but secondly if you know how to use it, its not a bad camera.  Not only is it a decent camera but there are a lot of really cool outlets for printing your photos from your phone now and most of them, in one way or another, link directly up with my first choice for iPhone photo apps:

Instagram - Instagram is a free download for your phone and gives you your own channel to stream photos you take to.


You can add numerous amounts of different filters do your photos.  The filters in Instagram are actually good compared to a lot of the other apps out there.


So after you've taken and manipulated your photo you upload it to your channel.  Your channel has followers and they can comment on your photos.  But the really cool thing is all the available products you can have printed from your Instagram channel.  The coolest thing I've found is the Instagram book from Blurb.  They're just beautiful.  They'll take the photos straight off of your channel and put them in a book...its that simple.

The second app I like is the TiltShift Generator.  Bottom line is this one makes big things look little.  You can process your photos in TiltShift Generator, save them to your phone, upload to Instagram and then print them on Blurb.  Crazy simple to have millions of people see your work now.  I love it.



The final app I recommend and its totally for fun, but its really cool, is the ShakeItPhoto app.  It is exactly like a Polaroid.  To the point where you actually have to shake your phone to process the photo.


I love that it leaves the shape of the Polaroid in the image.

There are a million great photo apps out there, but these are the ones I love.  The ones I have the most fun with.  You may have your own favorites and I'd love to hear about them.  Try these out and let me know what you think.
