Introduction

Switching from an Android phone to an iPhone comes with its share of challenges and, not surprisingly, many people find that it takes them some time to adjust to their new iPhones.

For persons with love and passion for smartphone photography, having an iPhone becomes something more than just having a device for making and receiving calls but something that serves as a personal organizer.

Beyond that, the iPhone is a flagship mostly because of the kind of camera and photo quality it possesses. But having a flagship without knowing how to use it is as good as not having it at all which is why a good book like this was written to make that learning phase easy on you. Through many hours of the best of research, you can finally be able to get the best results out of your device and use your iPhone 12 Pro to the best of its potential.

The amount of research put into writing this Guide was so that lovers of photography who have switched or are looking to switch to iPhone 12 Pro can get started with using both the basic and advanced features of their phones as soon as possible and use it to start producing photographs of startling effects.

As a photography lover, I love every moment of it. The iPhone has proven to be a life-changing experience for me

because whenever I go for an evening walk, a movie night, a casual hang out with friends, or an official tour, there are always moments of interest that I want to document through photos. In such moments, having a professional camera is very useful for me, however, having my iPhone 12 Pro provides a great alternative to the professional camera since they are not easy to carry around with us everywhere.

While writing this Guide, I came across many hidden and not frequently used undiscovered features that many ordinary users will probably not be aware of or only probably stumble into in the course of trying to navigate their way through the phone. Some of these features are those used only by professionals who may not even be aware that the iPhone 12 Pro can do many of the things they think can only be achieved with their DSLR camera.

This book is a result of many hours of going through the iPhone some of which have some high learning curves because of their level of difficulty. These hidden features that many people may not realize they have in their hands and many more things are the things this book aims to share with you to take you to the pinnacle of photography.

Whether you are a beginner or photography savvy, you will find amazing content in this Guide to boost your skills and explore new things.
