Author here. Thank you! The iPhone 5s is quite superior when it comes to photography and the rest of it I do through VSCO CAM ( http://vsco.co/vscocam ).

According to the author, they were taken using an iphone 5s and edited with vsco. It's a great app that gives this analog feel. You can check their site: http://vsco.co/vscocam.

From the manly beach and the airbus shot, it could be an iphone or similar, yes. The low light and mixed exposure shots give it away. I agree though, it looks lovely, especially the night market and the London shot - very nice light.

How to take photos like this? Well, I'm no expert, but I would say the key to all good photography is framing, lighting, and throwing away 99.9% of the hundreds of photos you take.

I do take hundreds of shots, spot on! Everything except my portrait shot is iPhone.

Beautiful work! I love the colour and contrast. The London, Phuket (both) and Byron shots are just great. Oh and I liked the article too, except I'd replace samsonite with rimowa :)
