Photo Academy App for iOS


You could have a fancy DSLR, an expensive lens, a sturdy tripod, an extra battery pack, heck even a gnarly camera bag but if you don't know how to take pictures, you don't know how to take pictures. Photo Academy is an app that teaches you how to take better snappies.

It's like a tutorial app, or a how-to-in-an-app, that covers the basics like how to hold your camera and what tweaking ISO and exposure do to more complex instructions like professional photographer tips and editing ideas. There's literally hundreds of different tips for various situations along with ideal camera settings to maximize your pictures—basically, if you're an amateur photographer, you're bound to learn something.

You can even add your photos to "track your progress" though it's sorta unnecessary given that the app's goal is for you to take pictures with your DSLR and not your iPhone cam. $1


I'm excited to get this blog started, as well as explaining why I have created it, within the coming week. Until then, if you have an iOS Device (a iPad, an iPod Touch, iPhone) than the app outlined in this post by tech blog Engadget may be a helpful learning and reference tool to have! If I'm ever to drop a term you may not know, it could clear things up or shed more light on that area of the subject. To download it, check out the Engadget link for more details.

Looking forward to a great Fall Semester!

  1. Hey Corey,

    I'm interested in what you are talking and since you are taking courses in photography; hopefully, you can teach us how to take better snappies. Since, i don't know how to take good pictures(;

    Looking forward to read more about what you'd write!
