How to Take Better Photos on iPhone (Without Learning Photography)

By Published Updated

Most iPhone photos don’t turn out badly because the camera isn’t good.

They turn out badly because the iPhone makes a lot of decisions for you — and you only see the result after the photo’s already been taken.

So you end up fixing things later.

Adjusting sliders.

Trying presets.

Guessing what went wrong.

The iPhone Creator Kit exists to avoid that.

It’s the setup we use so photos and videos start from a better place — instead of needing to be rescued afterwards.

What the iPhone Creator Kit is

The iPhone Creator Kit gives you everything you need to get higher-quality photos and videos from your iPhone.

It includes:

  • the correct iPhone camera settings,
  • photo presets made specifically for iPhone,
  • Apple LOG video LUTs,
  • and short guides that show you how to use everything properly.

Nothing here is adapted from other cameras.

It’s built around how the iPhone actually shoots and processes images.

Why we made it

We were tired of fixing the same issues over and over again.

Photos that were too bright.

Colours that looked off.

Images that fell apart when edited.

Most advice online didn’t help much — it was either too technical or too vague.

So we put together exactly what we were already using – the settings, presets, and workflow that gave us consistent results.

That became the iPhone Creator Kit.

What you get

Photo presets

The kit includes 20 premium Lightroom photo presets.

They’re made specifically for iPhone photos, especially ProRAW files, so they hold up properly when you edit them.

You apply a preset, make a small adjustment if needed, and move on.

No rebuilding edits from scratch, and no forcing a style.

Apple LOG video LUTs

If you shoot video in Apple LOG, the footage looks flat by default.

The included LUTs give you a clean, balanced starting point — brighter, sharper, and more usable.

If you’re new to LUTs, the guide shows you exactly how to apply them.

Camera settings guide

We break down the iPhone camera settings that actually improve quality, and which ones you can ignore.

You set things up once, then forget about them.

Short, practical lessons

The kit includes 14+ short lessons covering:

  • iPhone photography basics,
  • ProRAW and video,
  • editing on iPhone,
  • preserving image quality.

They’re designed to be followed once, not revisited constantly.

The Ultimate Kit

The Ultimate Kit includes the Basic Kit contents plus an expanded preset collection. See the current kit comparison for the latest contents.

They’re organised by real shooting scenarios — travel, product, automotive, film-style looks, and more.

It’s the same workflow, just with more options.

How it fits into your workflow

You shoot.

You apply a preset.

You adjust exposure if needed.

You’re done.
