1. Set The Focus For Tack-Sharp Photos

The first step to shooting stunning iPhone photos is to ensure your subject is in sharp focus.

If the subject isn’t in focus, you won’t be able to capture its intricate detail.

A photo with an out-of-focus subject will look like an amateur snapshot. And it won’t have the impact you’d hoped for.

Fortunately, the iPhone Camera app makes it super-easy to set focus.

But unless you know what you’re looking for, you might not even realize the camera has a focus setting.

It’s one of those hidden iPhone camera features that most people don’t know about.

So, how do you set focus on the iPhone camera?

Simply frame your shot, then tap the screen where you want to set focus. A yellow box will appear to indicate the focus point.

When you take the photo, the area that you set focus on will appear crisp and sharp.

Setting the focus point is especially important when shooting close-up photos.

Why? Because when the camera is close to the subject, the depth of field in the photo will be shallow.

A shallow depth of field means only a small portion of the image is in focus. Anything in front of or behind the focus point will appear blurred.

Setting focus is one of the best iPhone camera tricks you can learn.

And it’s one of the easiest iPhone camera settings to use.

It only takes a second to set focus. But it will make a huge difference to the quality of your photos.

2. Adjust Exposure To Achieve Perfect Brightness Levels

Exposure refers to the brightness of an image.

If you don’t get the exposure right, your photo will either be too bright (over-exposed) or too dark (under-exposed).

If the photo is under-exposed, it will lack detail in the shadows (dark areas). And the highlights (bright areas) may appear dull.

If the photo is over-exposed, the highlights (bright areas) may appear completely white with no detail at all. And the shadows will be overly bright.

Some exposure problems can be fixed in editing (such as brightening up shadows). But you’ll never be able to bring back detail in the over-exposed whites.

So it’s important to get the exposure right in the camera.

Adjusting exposure is easy. But, like the focus feature, exposure is one of those hidden iPhone camera settings. And most people don’t even realize it exists.

So, how do you adjust exposure in the Camera app?

First, you need to tap to set focus on your subject.

Then, simply swipe up or down on the screen to adjust exposure.

Swipe up to make the image brighter. Or swipe down to make it darker.

In general, you should aim to capture as much color and detail as possible. Try to avoid over-exposed highlights and under-exposed shadows.

However, in some cases, you might want to deliberately under or over-expose your photo.

For instance, to capture a silhouette photo, you’ll need to under-expose so that your subject appears completely black.

Before you take a photo, always check whether the brightness levels look good.

If the image looks too bright or too dark, adjust the exposure before you press the shutter button.

3. Switch Between iPhone Lenses To Zoom In & Out

Do you have one of the dual-lens or triple-lens iPhones?

If so, you can zoom in and out on your scene by switching between iPhone camera lenses.

The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have three lenses: Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto.

The iPhone 11 has two lenses: Ultra Wide and Wide.

Older dual-lens iPhones (iPhone XS, XS Max, X, 8 Plus, and 7 Plus) have the Wide and Telephoto lenses.

If you have a single-lens iPhone, you’ll just have the standard Wide lens.

So, how do you switch between lenses on the dual and triple-lens iPhones?

In the iPhone Camera app, you’ll see some numbers at the bottom of the viewfinder. These are the Zoom options that let you switch between lenses.

0.5x is the Ultra Wide lens. 1x is the Wide lens. And 2x is the Telephoto lens.

To use the Ultra Wide lens, tap 0.5x.

To switch to the Wide lens, tap 1x.

For the Telephoto lens, tap 2x.

You know how to switch between lenses. But which one should you choose for your scene?

The 1x Wide lens has a moderately wide field of view. This makes it suitable for most shooting situations.

The 0.5x Ultra Wide lens has an extremely wide angle of view. This allows you to capture super-wide photos that include much more of the scene. It’s great for shooting wide landscapes, cityscapes, and architecture.

The 2x Telephoto lens allows you to capture a closer view of distant objects. Use it to zoom in when you can’t physically get closer to your subject.

As you can see, the same scene can look very different when captured with the Wide, Ultra Wide, and Telephoto lenses.

Having the option to zoom in and out allows you to be more creative and versatile when shooting.

4. Use Night Mode For Unbelievable Low Light Photos

Do you struggle to take good photos when you shoot at night? Do your low light photos look dull and grainy?

Well, if you have the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max, night photography will never be a problem again!

The iPhone 11 Camera app has an incredible new feature called Night mode.

Night mode uses intelligent camera software to capture more color and detail in your night photos.

So, how do you use Night mode on iPhone 11?

First, ensure you’re shooting with either the 1x Wide lens or 2x Telephoto lens. (Night mode doesn’t work with the 0. 5x Ultra Wide lens.)

Night mode will come on automatically whenever you shoot in low light.

If the light is fairly low (but not very dark), the Night mode (moon) icon will be white.

The white icon means that Night mode is available to use, but it’s not yet active. To activate it, tap the Night mode icon so it appears yellow.

If the scene is very dark, Night mode will activate automatically (the icon will appear yellow).

When Night mode is active, you’ll see a number on the yellow Night mode icon. This number indicates the exposure time, e.g., 1 second, 3 seconds, 7 seconds, etc. This is the time it will take to capture the image.

The Auto exposure time is the time recommended by the camera.

However, you can increase the exposure time if you wish. Simply drag the Exposure Time slider right to the Max setting.

If you would prefer not to use Night mode, drag the slider left to the Off setting.

When you’ve selected the Night mode exposure time, tap the shutter button to take your shot.

Hold your iPhone really still until the exposure is complete. If you move the camera, your photo might not be sharp.

The above photo was taken using Night mode. It was taken at night with only a couple of street lamps illuminating the scene.

For comparison, below is the same building taken without Night mode.

As you can see, Night mode allows you to capture a brighter image with vibrant colors and sharp detail.

So, if you have one of the iPhone 11 models, don’t be afraid to shoot at night. You’ll be amazed at the results!

Note that if you’re shooting in medium to low light, and Night mode isn’t activated, your camera may use Deep Fusion instead. Deep Fusion is an automatic camera feature (you can’t control it) that captures more texture and detail in medium to low light scenes.

5. Blur The Background In Your Photos With Portrait Mode

Have you ever wondered how to blur the background in your portrait photos?

With the iPhone camera, it’s easy. You just need to shoot in Portrait mode.

Portrait mode is available in the built-in Camera app on the following iPhones:

iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 7 Plus.

Portrait mode uses depth-effect software to blur the background in your photos.

This means you can easily create professional-looking portrait photos with your iPhone.

So, how do you use Portrait mode?

First, swipe across the shooting modes at the bottom of the screen and select Portrait.

Ensure your subject is between two and eight feet away. If they’re too close or too far away, the depth-effect won’t work.

When Portrait mode is ready, you’ll see the words Natural Light in yellow.

Now, press the shutter button to take a stunning portrait with a gorgeous blurred background!

But what if you change your mind and decide the photo would look better without the blurred background?

The iPhone makes it easy to remove the depth effect after taking a photo.

To remove the blurred background, open your portrait photo in the Photos app, then tap Edit.

Tap the yellow Portrait icon at the top of the screen to remove the blur. You can re-apply the blurred background at any time by tapping the Portrait icon again.

Tap Done to save the changes.

If you have the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, XR, XS, or XS Max, you can go even further with the Portrait mode options.

On these iPhones, you can control the strength of the background blur… after you’ve taken the shot.

First, you need to open your portrait photo in the Photos app, and tap Edit.

Next, tap the f/number icon at the top left.

The Depth slider will appear beneath your photo. Drag the slider left or right to make the background blur stronger or weaker.

Tap Done to save the changes.

Portrait mode allows you to take photos with beautiful, blurred backgrounds.

But there’s even more to Portrait mode than this!

Read on to find out how to make your portrait photos even more stunning…

6. Use Portrait Lighting To Add Studio Light Effects To Your Photos

Do you want to add professional studio light effects to your portrait photos?

You can do just that with the iPhone’s Portrait Lighting feature.

You can apply different lighting effects when shooting in Portrait mode. But it’s easier to experiment with the effects after you’ve taken the photo.

So, once you’ve taken a photo with Portrait mode, open it in the Photos app, and tap Edit.

Ensure the Portrait Lighting (hexagon) icon is selected at the top left. The Portrait Lighting icons will be displayed beneath your photo.

Swipe across the Portrait Lighting icons to see the different effects, e. g. Studio Light, Contour Light, Stage Light, etc.

Use the slider at the bottom of the screen to adjust the strength of your chosen light effect.

Tap Done to save your edits.

Portrait Lighting offers a powerful way to quickly enhance your portrait photos. And it can really make your subject stand out!

7. Activate Burst Mode For Jaw-Dropping Action Shots

Do you struggle to take good photos of moving subjects?

Do you end up pressing the shutter button too early or too late, missing the perfect moment?

It doesn’t have to be this way!

Your iPhone camera has a little-known feature called burst mode.

And once you know how to use it, you’ll be able to take perfect action shots every time!

Burst mode takes around ten photos per second. This gives you the best chance of getting at least one photo of your subject in the perfect position or pose.

So, how do you activate burst mode on your iPhone?

It’s actually really simple.

On iPhone 11, 11 Pro, or 11 Pro Max, slide the shutter button to the left. The camera will keep taking pictures until you release your finger.

On iPhone XS and older, simply hold down the shutter button (don’t slide it left).

Once you’ve shot a burst, you can choose the best images to keep and discard the rest.

To select the best photos, open the Photos app. Find your burst and tap to open it.

Tap Select at the bottom of the screen. Scroll through the photos and tap on the ones you want to keep. Then tap Done, and choose to Keep Only Favorites.

Burst mode will instantly improve your iPhone action photography. You should use it whenever there’s any movement or unpredictability in the scene.

It’s great for photographing children and animals. And it’s perfect for street photography or capturing people walking, running, jumping, or cycling.

8. Shoot Live Photos To Preserve Those Special Moments

The iPhone Live Photo feature brings your pictures to life by creating a 3-second moving image.

Rather than freezing a moment in time with a still photo, use Live Photos to capture movement and sound.

Press Play on the video below to see how this Live Photo captures the movement and sound of the beach.

Live Photos are perfect for preserving those special little moments that you couldn’t capture in an ordinary still photo.

Use it when photographing moving subjects, children, water, fun moments, or any scene that has interesting sounds.

To shoot a Live Photo, ensure the Live Photos icon at the top of the screen is set to on. (If the icon has a line through it, it’s off.)

Then simply press the shutter button to capture your Live Photo.

Remember that the camera automatically captures 1. 5 seconds of video before and after you take the shot. So keep the camera still for a few seconds before and after pressing the shutter.

To play back your Live Photo, open it in the Photos app, then hold your finger down on the screen.

In the Photos app, you can apply different effects to your Live Photo, such as Loop, Bounce, and Long Exposure.

To access these effects, open your Live Photo then swipe up.

Swipe across the effects beneath your photo, and tap the one you want to use.

Loop turns your Live Photo into a continuous video loop. Bounce makes your Live Photo play forwards and then in reverse.

Long Exposure creates a slow shutter effect, blurring any movement that was captured. This is perfect for creating a silky smooth effect on rivers and waterfalls.

If you’d prefer to convert your Live Photo to a still image, tap Edit at the top of the Live Photo.

Tap the Live icon at the bottom of the screen. Then tap the yellow Live icon at the top of the screen.

The Live Photos animation and sound are now turned off. But you can convert it back to a Live Photo at any time by tapping Live at the top of the screen.

9. Set The Timer For Hands-Free Shooting

The self-timer in the Camera app lets you set a delay between pressing the shutter button and the photo being taken.

This means you can shoot hands-free… and appear in the photo yourself.

First, set your phone on an iPhone tripod (or any solid surface) and compose your shot.

In the iPhone 11 Camera app, tap the up-arrow to display more iPhone camera settings at the bottom of the screen. Then select the Timer icon.

On iPhone XS and older, you’ll find the Timer icon at the top of the screen (as shown below).

Select either a 3-second or 10-second delay.

When you press the shutter button, the camera will start counting down the seconds.

Now you can get into position in front of the camera.

When the shutter fires, the camera will take a burst of 10 shots.

You can then choose the best photos from the sequence and delete the rest (just like you do when selecting your favorite burst mode photos).

Using the timer means you never have to take a boring photo again.

You can always add interest to your photo by appearing in the scene yourself!

10. Switch On The Grid In iPhone Camera Settings For Better Compositions

Did you know you can display gridlines in the iPhone Camera app?

These gridlines will help you create stunning compositions that really catch the viewer’s eye.

You can use the camera gridlines to:

Keep the horizon level in landscape photos
Ensure lines are straight or level in architecture photos
Divide the frame into three sections for a classic rule of thirds composition
Compose a perfectly symmetrical photo

To turn on the grid, open the Settings app, then select Camera. Ensure the Grid option is switched on.

Close the iPhone camera settings, then open the Camera app. You’ll see two horizontal and two vertical lines in the viewfinder.

Use these lines to help you position the main elements in the scene for a pleasing composition.

Position your main subject on one of the vertical gridlines (or where two lines meet) to create an off-center “rule of thirds” composition.

Or align the horizon along the top or bottom gridline. This will ensure the horizon is perfectly level.

And your composition will be more pleasing than if you’d placed the horizon across the middle of the frame.

So, switch on the camera grid. And start using it to compose jaw-dropping iPhone photos!

13 Best Apps for Black and White Photos in 2022 (Updated)

The best apps for black and white photos can completely transform your B&W photos! Black and white is a classic look in photography that highlights line and light.

In this article, we went looking for the best black and white app for photography. Some apps turn your phone into a black and white camera. Others let you convert color images to monochrome. Let’s start with the apps that let you see the world in black and white.

The Best In-Camera Apps for Black and White Photos

First, we look at some apps that create black and white photos. Each of these apps creates a black and white aesthetic in camera.

1. IOS & Android Native Cameras

The native cameras on both IOS and Android phones allow you to make black and white photos. Click the filter icon. It looks like three connected circles. Depending on your phone, you will have one or more monochrome filters. The iPhone has three filters—Mono, Silvertone, and Noir. The newer iPhones have two more black and white options in the Portrait mode—Stage Light Mono and High-Key Light Mono. These options work best when taking portraits.

The native camera on your phone may not be the best black and white app, but it is available without a download. Let’s take a look at some better black and white photo apps.

To access black and white filters on the iPhone 11, click the carrot then the filter icons. You have the choice of three black and white filters.

2. Camera1

IOS

Camera1 is our favorite black and white photography app. With this app, your phone becomes a manual black and white camera. You can change exposure and manually adjust focus. Whenever you change exposure settings, a histogram pops up to guide your choice. Red zebra stripes appear if you are overexposing. A magnifying glass helps you focus. You can lock in the settings to take a series of black and white images.

The Camera1 sliders let you manually control exposure and focus

You can shoot in various RAW formats. These keep color information as well as monochrome JPEG. When you apply color filters to your photos, you can see the effect in real time. This shows you exactly how each filter affects the colors. The Zen mode (Z) hides all the controls to let you focus on composition.

Camera1 app interface shows you live colour filters simultaneously

Vistax is by the same developer as Camera1. The app includes many presets, including both color and black and white. With Vistax, select the preset, and you decide how much of the effect you want. The app goes beyond the presets. It allows you to control your camera’s exposure settings manually. The price of these apps is high in comparison to the others on this list, but you get much more with your purchase.

3. Hypocam

IOS | Android

Hypocam is a free black and white app that comes with five black and white filters and textures. You can buy more in the app. On top of the basic filters, you can add a color filter to emphasize or minimize certain colors in the scene. Once you have taken the photos, you can apply texture, grain, vignette, and fade to get the look you want.

Hypocam also works as a black and white filter app. You can apply the filters to photos in your camera roll and edit the effect in the app. This app is an easy and flexible tool. You can expand your filter collection, and the editing functions are simple yet powerful.

4. Black and White Camera

IOS | Android

Black and White Camera lets you take photos with film effects. Some filters simulate the look of damaged film with flares, discolorations, and scratches on negatives. If you are going for an old film vintage look, this is your app.

There are many filters included, and you can buy more in-app. The app works with your phone’s camera. But you can also apply the filters to images on your camera roll. The free version of this app watermarks your images and popup ads can distract from your image-making. If you like this app, you will want to upgrade to the paid version.

Flash photography is disabled, as are the phone’s many lenses. On the list of apps for black and white photos, this one is a simple, no-fuss option.

In the Lenka interface, sliders for exposure, focus, white balance, and contrast appear on the right side of the screen

8. Provoke Camera

IOS

Provoke Camera is a popular film simulator app that includes about a dozen ’60s-style film effects. These are based on the styles of famous Japanese photographers like Daido Moriyama. Their names are not very descriptive. On the developer’s website, you can get the description of each simulation. This would be very helpful to include in the app. For instance, HPAN is High Contrast. h200 is High Contrast with Blur.

You can change the exposure of your photo. With a double-tap on the screen, you can change the focus point. With this app, you can make photos, and you can apply the film effects to photos already in your camera roll.

Apps for Converting Color to Black and White

Editing apps convert images you have taken in color to black and white. With these apps, you do not have to think about composing in black and white when you take the photo. You can use a familiar camera app and decide on the monochrome style later.

10. Snapseed

IOS | Android [Free]

Snapseed is a popular photo editing app. It is one of the best choices when converting color images to black and white. The app walks you through the process of editing your photo starting with a filter, then a look.

The number of editing tools is almost overwhelming. You can change nearly any aspect of your image. Tools like Vintage, Retrolux, and Noir, and Grainy Film will give your image an old-fashioned look. You can add text, frames, and even a second image as a double exposure. There is a lot of editing power in Snapseed and the app is free.

11. Dramatic Black & White

IOS | Android

Dramatic Black & White is a powerful photo editing app by JixPix Software. Select an image from your phone to start applying filters. The purchased app comes with dozens of black and white filters, including many infrared filters.

A randomize button lets you try out different ones to see what works best. You can also customize the filters. You can change color tone, softness, brightness, and contrast. You can also add color filters and grain. What makes this app unique is the ability to add spotlights. These are extra areas of light and shadow that you can resize, tilt, and strengthen as you like. You can layer several spotlights for a more complex effect.

12. Carbon – B&W Filters & Effects

IOS

Carbon by Livintis W. L.L. is an elegant black and white app. You can edit your own photos or demo portraits. The app focuses on portraits, but you can use editing tools on any style of photograph.

Start with the included monochromatic filters. You can adjust how much of the filter shows through. The app has a full editing suite. You can adjust exposure, sharpness, vignettes and many other settings. You can even add a tilt-shift effect to your image. You can also add grain, dust, light leak, and lens flare textures and a border.

Some of the effects are free. Others are available to buy through the app. The filter packs can be pricy. But this is one of the best apps for black and white photos. You can only export your own images, but the demo portraits will help you edit like a pro.

13. Monokrom B&W Photo Editor

IOS

In this black and white app, you move colored circles (or pucks) around the image. The pucks adjust brightness, contrast, tint, grain, and vignette. It takes a little getting used to. But once you do, editing your image becomes interactive.

Import photos from your camera roll and start moving the circles around. These increase or decrease the effect. You will immediately see changes in the preview. Editing this way removes the technical details. You will see the changes, but your brain stays on the creative elements of the image. If you like an effect, switch to the Memory tab and save the “recipe.”

Conclusion

We went in search of the best black and white camera app and the best black and white photo editor. The best included many presets and let you explore your own black and white aesthetic. Our favourite black and white app was Camera1 because of its functionality. If you want a simpler filter app, then Hypocam is your best bet. Snapseed tops our black and white photo editing apps. Especially if you already use the program to edit your colour images. But Dramatic Black and White is not as overwhelming and is highly flexible.

Black and white is one way to be creative with your photographs. If you want to learn even more, read our Creative Photography Cookbook.

Excellent!

What you need! You can slap music without a hitch (finally!!!) what was so lacking . .. It's nice to work with an application in which everything is all at once, well done!

Thank you very much for your feedback! We are happy to be of service :)

Guys, with such a price, I don’t think that many will use it.

Let's start with the fact that I understand that any work must be paid.
But if you are making an application for a large circle of people (and I think any developer wants many people to use his application), then you need to set the price accordingly.
The application is cool, but besides this there are a lot of others, for more adequate money.
400₽ per week is that match.
Probably the developers read these reviews and laugh that our people are greedy and snickering, but I can say for myself that I buy applications and music, and pay subscriptions, BUT 400₽ a week is unjustified)
I want to use the application when I want to, I’m not a blogger like many, but when you are charged 400 rubles a week, it’s a pity for the loot and it’s like you have to use it (the application).
Yes, of course you have a free version where there are many filters and so on, thanks for that)
But I'm not ready to pay 400₽ per week and I'm also not ready to mount watermarked videos, simply because it spoils the whole look.
And if they ask me, then I myself can say with pleasure the name of the program (this is the topic of the watermark).
In general, I refused to work with him, even though I really liked it.
But spend 1600₽ per month to edit 2 videos according to your mood...
Reduce the price or make a one-time purchase and you will have a lot of satisfied and grateful customers.
In the meantime, apart from the feeling of losing money, unfortunately nothing.
But I agree for guys who really shoot videos very often, or maintain a blog that brings money from these videos, the option is good.
For mere mortals, alas.
If the developers respond to my review, then there is no need to write about the free version and so on, like everyone else)
I'm ready to pay, but the price should be adequate) and the watermark in the furnace. It ruins everything
