iPhoneography also known as i4neography is an art of creating photos with an Apple iPhone.[1][2][3] It's a style of mobile photography that differs from other forms of digital photography in that images are shot and processed on the iOS device. It does not matter whether a photo is edited using different graphics applications or not. However, this issue is often argued over among iPhone photographers.

iPhoneography has grown quickly since the original iPhone 2G with its 2 megapixel camera was released in 2007. As the iPhone cameras improved in both resolution and image quality, more professional photographers ventured into this art form and started recognizing the value of an iPhone image.[4][5][6] The New York Times published a summer series of reportages[7] using Instagram in August, 2011. The photographer Damon Winter won prizes for his Hipstamatic photos[8] of the war in Afghanistan.[9]
