Another cool behind-the-scenes video showing how you can achieve studio-quality photos using just a simple iPhone 3GS camera. Again proving the point it’s not the camera you use, but it’s the photographer behind it. What I personally love most about this studio reveal is seeing how they set up the lighting….
