Wise Photos App for iPad and iPhone
The Wise Photos app brings the power of all 15 artistic compositions to your mobile devices, with particular advantages on iPad.

Photographers find the Wise Photos app indispensable for their creative workflows.
Photographers use it for composition-guided cropping to enhance storytelling, compare multiple images with different artistic composition overlays, and identify techniques that complement their vision to make compelling and engaging photographs that tell stories.
Meanwhile, painters leverage it to analyze sketches, maintain compositional guidance during painting, and document work at different stages. The iPad's portability and camera, including the Apple Pencil support and the Wise Photos app's intuitive interface, provide seamless access to all 15 artistic compositions, creating a bridge between artistic vision and technical execution.
Wise Camera App for iPhone
Designed exclusively for iPhone users, the Wise Camera app brings real-time composition guidance to your photography.

Photographers rely on it as a composition assistant for quickly evaluating scenes, capturing spontaneous moments with proper artistic composition, directing portrait subjects, and maintaining structure in changing conditions.
At the same time, painters use it during inspiration gathering to capture reference photos with composition guides already applied, photograph masterworks in museums, document subjects from multiple angles, and assess a scene's compositional potential before committing to paint it.

FQAs about what artistic composition tool to use
How does the Artistic Photo website's approach to composition differ from traditional photography books or courses that teach only the rule of thirds?
This question is interesting because it prompts a discussion about how the Artistic Photo website goes beyond basic composition rules.

Dedicated tutorial videos explaining the technique and its history
Extensive example galleries showing professional implementation
Guidance on how to use each artistic composition for effective storytelling
