Hipstamatic iPhone Photography App
Hipstamatic for iPhone
My absolute favorite iPhone photography app is the Hipstamatic App. It uses a combination of retro lenses, flashes and film to create cell phone pictures that really pop. You will be amazed at the lovely pieces of art you can print from a simple cell phone snap.
I almost always have my phone with me so taking fun pictures with Hipstamatic is super convenient. It's a lot of fun to pull out my phone at family gatherings for group snapshots. Everyone always crowds around to see how they turned out.
Synthetic, the App maker's tagline is "digital photography, never looked so analog". I couldn't agree more!

A little something special for cell phone pics
turning everyday life into works of art
Hipstamic works with the built in iPhone camera to create a square photo that has been processed with a combination of film, lens and optional flash filters. Think of it as some advanced Photoshop work wrapped up in a simple to use camera app.
Photos taken from the Hipstamatic app can easily be uploaded to Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, sent via Email or simply saved in the phone's photo library all without ever having to leave the app.
The initial download comes with a set of standard equipment that produces plenty of impressive results. If you really get into the app though, you'll probably want to explore the in-app purchase options from their camera equipment store dubbed Hipstamart. Here you'll find a selection of booster packs to give you even more wonderful combinations to experiment with.
Getting overwhelmed with all your options, just give the phone a little shake and a random lens, film and flash will be chosen for your snapping pleasure.

I have printed my Hipstamatic photos on mpix.com's metallic paper in 5"x5" using a matboard backing. The metallic paper makes the image really pop and the backing provides support so the pictures can be propped up on a shelf.
