Two iPhone Apps I Can’t Live Without!
I just recently purchased an iPhone 13 Pro.
I am beyond blown away at the quality of photographs this phone takes. Stand-alone, they're bomb. Whether you're in Portrait Mode or taking a normal photo or video, you look like a professional.
To take my photography and Instagram game to the next level, I use a handful of convenient phone apps. While I won't give away all my secrets, I'd love to share with you the two apps I can't live without!
#1 A Color Story
A Color Story (ACS) is by far my favorite app of all time. You can quote me on that. If you see a photo of mine that you love, it's because I edited it with ACS.
Though the app, filters, effects and tools are free, I have enjoyed purchasing new filter packs from their store. On the Road, Seasons and Mood are three packs that I am absolutely obsessed with right now!
ACS just recently added their Colors+ feature, which amplifies (or tones down) certain colors in your photos. To me, this is a GAME CHANGER! I can make my cheesy oranges and yellows even more saturated and bright without having the entire photo get blown out.
HOW I USE IT

Start by cropping or altering your canvas

WHY I LOVE IT

#2 Facetune
I was skeptical at first about Facetune. I assumed its only use would be to over-edit selfies and make myself look like a fuzzy, angelic doll with super white teeth.
I was so wrong!
Facetune has fantastic features that I use to edit my still life and food images. I use it to blur out backgrounds and add sharpness to my subjects.
HOW I USE IT
Watch a tutorial
Take a photo with the app or load one from your albums
Choose one of the icons along the bottom of the screen to begin editing
Apply filters, effects and more
Save your photo or upload it directly to Instagram
WHY I LOVE IT
Zoom in and get extremely detailed with editing
Bring the subject of the photo to life with the Details feature
