You can find them in the Recents folder on the Albums tab, or you can also screen down and select the Screenshots folder.

It can be tricky to get the hang of taking screenshots at first, and you might find that you accidentally power off the device, or you might get to the “Slide to Power Off” screen if you are holding the buttons down for too long.

Basically, you need to press both of the buttons at the same time. You don’t want to hold them down for very long. It’s a pretty quick press.

Note that you can also ask Siri to take a screenshot as well. Simply say “Siri, take a screenshot” and she will capture an image of whatever is on your screen.
