PocketShooters

Coming soon to The TWiP Network .. a brand new show called PocketShooters!

We believe this is an extremely important show, and the time has come for mobile phone photography to be taken seriously. The capabilities in late model iPhone and Android devices is nothing short of amazing, and the image quality is getting close to what previously was only achievable using PROFESSIONAL cameras. This show will explore the vast universe of tools, software and techniques that you can employ to begin creating pro-level mobile phone shots today.

Head over to twip.pro/pocketshooters and get on our early announcement list, and be one of the first to check out this brand new show on The TWiP Network.
