There are 3 steps:

1. Get the photo. Apple has a good example for this on the iPhone dev site
2. Get your Documents directory, like so:

   
   NSArray *arrayPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(
               NSDocumentDirectory,
               NSUserDomainMask,
               YES);
   NSString *docDir = [arrayPaths objectAtIndex:0];
   

3. And finally, storing the UIImage you got in step 1 out to disk:

   
   NSString *filename = @"mypic.png";
   NSString *fullpath = [docDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename];
   [UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) writeToFile:fullpath atomically:YES];
