Gardeners are artists dedicated to cultivating beauty in the world. You see the subtle shift of dawn on a leaf, the perfect curve of a petal. It’s these fleeting moments of magic that make a garden so special. But how often does that magic get lost in a simple snapshot? Dust off that camera app and find your favorite garden hat as we prepare to unlock the hidden magic of photography on the iPhone. Learn how to translate the living art you create in your garden into the lasting beauty of a photograph. Using the powerful and convenient camera you already have in your pocket, you'll learn to create images that truly capture the soul of your garden.
