Tap on the icon with an arrow popping out of a file tray – this is the share button. Tapping on the share button should slide out a menu with actions that can be performed on the selected image.
Tap the button which says “Email Photo”, the mail app should now automatically open up with the selected image inserted in the compose message area.
All you have to do is to enter the email address to which you want the photo sent or just choose from your contacts list.
Once you’ve filled in the subject and cc/Bcc fields (if required) just tap send and your photo is sent as an email.

TIP:
So you now are emailing friends and family the beautiful images that you’ve captured on your iPhone.
