I teach my secret to getting amazing cinematic photos from your iPhone 17 Pro/Max. Just practical settings I actually use to get better colors, better contrast, and more natural-looking photos straight out of the camera.
We go step by step through resolution options, HEIF vs Apple RAW, ProRAW and JPEG-XL, composition settings, macro and night mode behavior, and how I use the 35mm Fusion camera on the iPhone 17 Pro/Max.
I also show how I edit iPhone photos directly on the phone using without any apps and also in Lightroom Mobile, including low-light fixes, subject masking, undertones, and contrast adjustments to avoid that typical “smartphone” look.
At the end, you’ll see real before-and-after examples, so you can clearly see what these settings actually change.
