That isn't wrong, per se, but if you've got a working iPhone on you, you might be more prepared than you think.

He captured a reunion moment between Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, soft portraits of stars like Zendaya and Elle Fanning, and celeb-packed group shots. His work just proves that an editing eye can make even a phone-shot photo look incredible. RELATED VIDEO: InStyle Awards: What's Your Favorite Boob Trend of the Year? Don't believe us?
