Want more striking images? With Apollo, a photo-editing app that lets you tinker with your shot’s light sources, you can transform your iPhone photos into professional-looking portraits.

Adding drama and directed focus to your snaps, the app takes a bit of getting used to, but once mastered it’s capable of truly eye-catching results.

To start, simply pull up a picture from your camera roll. To get the most out of Apollo you’ll want to select something with uniform light (sorry dramatic shadows) that’s shot with a steady hand (bye bye blurry pics).

Found the perfect picture yet? Great! Jump into the editing toolbox.

Once you’ve chosen a point in the picture to highlight with light, you can tinker with the brightness and spread of the light source, change the colour saturation of the photo and alter the depths of the portrait.

This is more intuitive than it sounds, and Apollo is there to guide you by providing notes on each feature as you tap and play around with it. While you can add and tweak multiple light points, like the best editing apps, Apollo also makes it easy to undo any changes.

Once you have the hang of it, the possibilities are limitless. No two portraits will ever look the same. Afterward, share the results on social media and count the likes, since picture-perfect shots are guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
