Today I Was wanting to set up small studio gear to play with my iPhone. Took this using Natural light from a window & fill light via silver reflector. This is my SkyWatcher Star Adventurer that I use with my Sony A7RV to image the night sky with long exposures… very neat tracker.

A Natural light studio is a great way for anyone to learn about light and shadows.
Now all I need are some human subjects.

15 pro max, 48mp ProRAW editing done in Lightroom mobile. An 18% gray card was used to set the white balance. -0.7 ev

i really gotta learn lightroom for editing. amazing photo
Thanks…
It’s not hard. Once you learn what each tool does and where it’s located, you’ll get the hang of it fairly quickly. YouTube tutorials are helpful as well. I quickly learned the tools by opening each one on a photo and making adjustments to see what happens. Then I knew which tool to use and how heavily it is applied.

That's amazing. Would you be willing to post the original and explain the edits you made to get it to look like this?
Sure… I didn’t have to do much and I’ll do my best to explain. I’ll add screenshots with explanations. Here is the original followed by edits. Below are screenshots of my Lightroom mobile edits.

The sky was already somewhat colorful, adjustments were made to enhance the shot. Questions?

Nice! Clean image.

I have Photomator as well on my iPhone & iPad. It builds up a lot of cache in memory. Do you know how to clear it? I didn’t find an option in settings.
I used Photomator on the Mac so I'm not sure if it's different but I haven't noticed it using a lot of cache on this side. I reckon if it keeps building you may need to delete the app and then reinstall it (just make sure you've saved all your edits and exported them to photos before doing it).
