Picture taking and sharing apps like Instagram made camera filters very popular. They allowed you to take a picture with the camera on your iPhone, then add some artistic styling to the image. While this had previously been limited to these third-party apps, the iOS 7 operating system update added filters to the Camera app on the iPhone 5. So if you want to take a black and white picture with your iPhone 5, you now have the ability to do so with the default Camera app on the device.
If you want to be able to edit your pictures even more, then a program like Adobe Photoshop Elements can be really helpful. Find out more about this program and check pricing here.
