Rad Drew


iPhone Photography

Everyone has a mobile phone camera today, but not everyone knows how to take advantage of its full power and potential. Join professional photographer, Rad A. Drew, as he shows how to get the most from your mobile phone’s camera! Rad will demonstrate how you can make beautiful portraits of people and pets, stunning panoramas, and compelling long exposures of waterfalls and streams, and more. Whether you’ve been using a “big” camera for years, or are completely new to photography, you’ll learn surprising ways to create with the camera that’s always with you — your iPhone!

Note to Android Photographers: Rad will demonstrate the use of the iPhone’s native camera using the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Many iPhone features can be found on Android phones, but not all.

Teacher, photographer, and tour leader, Rad A. Drew, creates with the iPhone, mirrorless, and infrared cameras. He frequently contributes to PSA Journal and has exhibited his work in galleries around the world. Rad is an associate editor for PhotoPXL.com and TheAppWhisperer, contributes to The Art of iPhone Photography: Creating Great Photos and Art on Your iPhone, serves as an affiliate representative for Topaz Labs, Flypaper Textures, DxO, and Luminar, and is the creator of the popular webinar series, How I Did It!™.
