Austin Mann is an American artist, photographer and storyteller who captures light to help people see each other—and the world—with more clarity and connection. His photographs captured on iPhone have been featured by National Geographic, TIME, and CNN and his early iPhone images played a meaningful role in launching Apple’s Shot on iPhone campaign.

Austin’s industry experience and his collaborations with Apple’s iPhone camera team have given him a rare, practical understanding of how the iPhone camera actually works—and how professionals can leverage it. Teaching is a core part of Austin’s practice. He loves challenging creative photographers and providing tools and insights for them to do their best work, and to do it with intention.

He and his wife, Esther, also own Maven Gallery, a photography gallery that champions compelling work from artists near and far.
