Nearly every camera these days has a built in camera. Until a few years ago these cameras were … well, lets be honest here, they SUCKED. Then the cameras began to get better and better, especially in the iPhone. Now, it seems everyone is shooting from their cameras, some try to produce fine art, others prefer the 365 style projects. Until recently, if you wanted to post process these images it required that you uploaded them into the computer from your phone. Now, there are literally hundreds of apps for the iPhone to help you take better pictures, as well as post process them right in the phone. Today’s review is going to target two of the more well known ones, Chase Jarvis’ Best Camera (BC) and Photoshop.com Mobile (PSM or Photoshop Mobile). Hit the Jump for the full story …. Read more…

The only one I would add to the list is not learning off camera lighting. Even if it is just using reflectors and available light, off camera lighting is very important, especially if you plan on doing portraits. Enjoy the post, it really is top notch!
Mobile Studio Part 1
As a budding Pro you will eventually run into the “on location” portrait. For most of these you can just use a natural, existing, background for the picture.
