iPhone Photography for Travelers

Master mobile photography, find inspiring photo spots, and learn how to travel light.

Here I share my way of taking, editing, managing, and sharing travel photos using an iPhone on the go. Since 2012.

You’ll read about the iPhone photo apps and gear I use to take my travel photos and learn how I use them. You’ll also find a curated selection of photo spots from each city, hiking tour, and abandoned place I visited during my trips. Likewise, you’ll learn how I travel light. No camera bag needed.

Let’s start with:

Hi, I'm Chris

I’ve been photographing since the good old film-days, turned to digital in 2000 and to iPhone only in 2012.

On my website, you’ll read about my recommended camera apps, recommended photo editing apps and the iPhone photo accessories I use in my blog. I’ve also a page containing a list of public and legal Urbex Tours you can attend. Because Urbex does not have to be illegal.

Head directly to the blog to learn my way of using an iPhone for taking travel photos, or read a brief introduction about this website:

Follow me to see the photo I’ll take tomorrow (or the day after tomorrow). I usually post them on social media first and then add a blog post.

Optionally, visit my regularly updated curation of 42 of my personal favorite iPhone photos (a.k.a. ’the portfolio’) with stunning cityscapes, awesome landscapes and eerie photos of lost places.
