New App, Book, & Community for iPhone Photographers

CreativePro Staff

World-renowned photographer and director Chase Jarvis announced the launch of an ecosystem — the first of its kind, including a new book, a new app, and even a new online community — centered around the idea that “The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You.”
The App: Best Camera
The $2.99 Best Camera app lets you creatively edit and share iPhone images more simply than ever before. There’s a unique set of filters and effects you can apply at the touch of a button. Stack them. Mix them. Remix them. There are virtually infinite creative possibilities.

The Community: TheBestCamera.com
The Best Camera App also lets you share images directly with the world via Twitter, Facebook, email, and www.thebestcamera.com, a new online community where iPhone users can contribute to a living, breathing gallery of iPhone photography from around the globe. This virtual exhibition displays images uploaded by Best Camera App users and lets them vote for the images they like.
The Book: The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You
Chase has pulled together a collection of his iPhone photography into an amazing visual journal. Proving the phrase he coined, The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You, his new book reveals what is possible with an iPhone camera. The book is released by New Riders, part of the Peachpit family of creative imprints.
“For me, this book has become a stake in the ground. With it, I hope to underscore — perhaps even legitimize — the idea that an image can come from any camera, even a mobile phone,” said Chase Jarvis. “Inherently, we all know that an image isn’t measured by its resolution, dynamic range, or anything technical. It’s measured by the simple — sometimes profound, other times absurd or humorous or whimsical — effect that it can have upon us. If you can see it, it can move you. I am proud of the ecosystem we’ve created: this book, this app, and this community. Join us. I look forward to seeing your pictures.”
