If you are taking photos with your iPhone for your blog or Facebook page you may sometimes wish your images were a bit more creative.  Enter Instagram, a free app which applies various filters to your photos.  Instagram can also be used as a part of your social networking as you are able to follow other people and check out their photos.  There are also many other apps which can be used to add creative effects to your iPhone pictures.

Remember online marketing is very visual and you only have limited time to capture the attention of your viewers.  The great part of iPhone photography is that it’s quick and easy and if you use Instagram it won’t even cost you any extra to have funky photos.  In this year’s SALA Festival there is an exhibition exclusively for iPhone photography so this is a growing field.

Here are a couple of Instagram images I’ve created recently (for fun not business!)…

Instagram can automatically post your photos to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Foursquare as well as saving a copy in your Photos on your iPhone.  Let us know if you use Instagram for your online marketing and whether you have any other favourite apps for photography.
