“Sara Tune is the person that made me discover iphone photography and its potential. I consider her an extremely talented photographer and artist and she is also a friend. Two weeks ago she came over to my house and we tried taking photos of each other to change from our self portraits. I thought it was extremely challenging and I learned a lot from it.

Today she agreed to share her steps and apps used to achieve this final image.
