iPhone Photography is the Latest in Capturing Life's Moments

'Wired' magazine featured an article regarding the ever-useful purposes of iPhones and their picture-taking capabilities. The featured iPhone photography, brilliantly labeled as 'iPhoneography,' showcases work from various international iPhone users.

iPhone photography can be altered in many ways. Adding filters, and taking pictures via specific photography applications result in multi-faceted works which are truly groundbreaking.

Implications - The iPhone and its built-in camera have revolutionized the way consumers snap photos. Instead of turning to a point-and-shoot camera, iPhone users are capturing moments on the go, customizing their photos with special filters and creative photo-manipulation techniques. Companies can take advantage of this exploding market by creating apps that allow users to manipulate their iPhone photos like a pro.
