People ask me all the time what camera I use, what settings I shoot with, how I keep the quality so sharp, and how I make my iPhone videos look the way they do. So I finally decided to start sharing all of it. This is my very first educational video, so please don’t judge me too hard 😅 I’m much more used to being behind the camera than explaining what I’m doing. Episode 1 of Shoot It on iPhone is all about the settings I personally use: 4K vs 1080p, 24/30/60 FPS, and how I export for social media. There’s a lot more coming: exposure, composition, movement, how I find my shots, editing, music, color, export settings, and the little things I’ve learned from filming New York almost every day. And I’d really love your help with this series. What do you want me to explain next? What part of filming or editing on iPhone feels the most confusing? Tell me in the comments. I’m building the next episodes around your questions. And it all #shotoniphone and fully edited on my phone with #ed

This is New York. The city where every block feels different, every corner has a story, and even an ordinary walk can turn into a moment you remember. This is the feeling people come to New York City for. Shot on iPhone 17 pro max • summer 2026 #newyorkcity #nyc #manhattan #nyclife #newyork

The NBA season tipped off in the heart of New York today. Rockefeller Center became a live NBA Showtime studio for opening day, with Maria Taylor and Basketball Hall of Famers Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady broadcasting from the plaza. Seeing three NBA legends together in the middle of Manhattan was not on my Tuesday plans. Who would you have been most excited to see?
