All photographs were taken with an Apple iPhone 5s and iOS 7.2 (I am a little behind on software updates).

 This photograph is a multiple exposure-made image and was taken in the Slow Shutter Cam app. There are about six exposure layers that I captured as the figure was in movement. The image was first edited in Google Snapseed editing app. In Snapeed, I applied the "Drama" filter. I typically do not like filters, but this one has effect I have not seen achievable in any other application or manual editing styles on a smartphone. Then I imported the photo into Afterlight, where I sharpened the detail, applied the #10 light leak filter, increased the warmth, and added a moderately thin black border.

This photograph was taken up close with the iPhone slightly tilted s to pick up more detail in the image. In Snapseed, I applied the "Drama" filter, and in Afterlight I desaturated the image, flipped it on its side, applied a "dust/scratches" filter (hence the crack in the wall), and added my oh-so-favorite black border, because it's not really a photograph without a official border, right Berk? This photograph is one of many in the set which were extremely sharpened so to achieve a more believable graininess- k?

This shot was an interesting and fun image to capture. I caught an interesting reflection in a window of two men working on a dilapidated house. The shooting strategy I used here was setting up the shot and waiting for the perfect moment. I was focused on not cutting of any part of the figure's reflections while still capturing an interesting interaction. After getting "the shot", I took the image directly into Afterlight. I increased the clarity, brightness, contrast, detail and then I converted the image to black and white and added a cold tone. From there, I added a warm tone and a black border.
