Take amazing holiday photos on iPhone – we show you how

We’ll also give you tips and techniques on making your holiday snaps look their best in relation to quality and composition, so that your shots stand out from the crowd. We’ll show you how to capture perfect panoramic landscapes and explain how to produce more creative selfies that capture more of you and your holiday location than the usual arm’s length self-portrait (without the need of a tripod or selfie-stick).
We’ll show you how to edit your shots on the go in the iOS Photos app to make the most of your destination’s eye-catching hotspots.
