the Session
The workshop was designed to empower iPhone users to get the most out of their devices, with a focus on:
- Personalising the iPhone: Exploring how to make the iPhone interface reflect your style and needs.
- Mastering iPhone Photography: Learning advanced yet easy-to-use camera features.
- Portrait Perfection: Understanding Portrait Lighting effects and how to create studio-quality shots without professional equipment.
Highlights
The session began with Shivaram walking participants through Lock Screen customisation. Attendees experimented with adding widgets, choosing different clock styles, and integrating their favourite photos for a unique and functional display.
Next came an engaging demonstration of split-second camera adjustments that make a big difference in shot quality. From fine-tuning exposure to selecting the right shooting mode, participants gained insight into settings that are often overlooked.
One of the most popular segments was Portrait Lighting mastery. Using five iPhones, Shivaram showed how to make a subject stand out, create dramatic moods, and enhance skin tones — all directly from the iPhone's camera app.

- Design multiple personalised Lock Screens for different moods or purposes.
