Finding the best photography app isn't as hard as you think, whether you're after a solid editing tool or a powerful new camera replacement there's something out there for everyone.

No matter what any photographer will tell you, anyone can take great pictures, as long as they have the right tools and few hints and tips to help them get started.

What you might not realise either is that you don't necessarily need a state-of-the-art DSLR camera either. As long as you've got your iPhone or Android phone and a few powerful apps on your home screen you'll be set.

Maybe you're after industry-leading tools like those found in Adobe's Photoshop Express, or perhaps you just want to fool around with some selfies in FaceTune.

Either way there's an app for that and one that should take pride of place on your home screen.

Best Photography Apps 2015
Steady (iOS)(01 of04)
Open Image Modal
Steady creates equality where there is none. Why should iPhone 5s owners be the only people that can shoot slo-mo footage? Well Steady argues that they shouldn't, so for a small sum you can download the app and get 60fps slow-mo clips for iPhone 5 and 5c. Of course it doesn't stop there, you also get video stabilisation and the ability to shoot in 16:9 or 1:1, making it perfect for Instagram videos.£1.49, iOS
Nokia Camera (Windows Phone)(02 of04)
Open Image Modal
Whether you like Windows Phone or not, you can't deny that Microsoft's Lumia phones have some of the best cameras available. Using Carl Zeiss lenses and Nokia's own imaging expertise they're hard to beat. It makes sense then that Microsoft made a custom camera app that can live up to the hardware. The Nokia Camera app has a plethora of unique features including Refocus which lets you adjust the focus after taking the picture. It's exclusively for Nokia Lumia phones but honest, aside from HTC's 8X, what other Windows Phones are there?£free, Windows Phone
Adobe Photoshop Express (iOS, Android)(03 of04)
Open Image Modal
Adobe has taken its industry-leading photo-editing software and condensed it down into the simplest of apps. Think of it as your one-stop shop for everything from Instagram to Facebook. You simply head to the app, give them the touch up they need then share. With a huge variety of options included you'll be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive image editor and the best part of all of this is that it's completely free.£free, iOS and Android
French Girls (iOS)(04 of04)
Open Image Modal
French Girls is our Joker card. The app is very simple, you upload a picture of yourself and then someone else draws it back to you. It doesn't matter if you're not dab hand with a brush, you can just be the muse of the masses. The app is open to everyone and anyone can draw you so use it with an open mind as the response might not be the classic 'lady sat by the lake' you were hoping for.£free, iOS
