Here are some tips to improve your mobile photography:
1. Know Your Camera
Manual Mode: Learn to adjust ISO, shutter speed and focus.
HDR Mode: Use High Dynamic Range for balanced exposure.
Gridlines: Turn on gridlines to follow the rule of thirds. Lighting is Everything
Natural Light: Shoot during golden hours (early morning or late afternoon) for soft light.
Avoid Flash: Use available light or external light for a natural look.
Backlighting: Position light sources behind subjects for silhouettes or dramatic effects. 3. Composition
Rule of Thirds: Place subjects off-center.
Leading Lines: Use natural lines to lead to your subject.
Framing: Use windows, arches or branches to frame your subject.
Clean Your Lens Wipe the lens regularly to avoid smudges.
Steady Your Shot Use both hands or a tripod. Use self-timer for hands-free shots.
Focus and Exposure Tap on subject to focus. Manually adjust exposure by dragging up or down.
Experiment with Angles Low angles for dramatic perspective. High angles for flat lays or overhead shots.
Edit Use Lightroom Mobile, Snapseed or VSCO for post-processing. Adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness and saturation subtly.
Don’t Zoom Digital zoom reduces quality. Move closer or crop during editing.
Try Modes and Lenses Portrait Mode: Blurred background and sharp subject. Night Mode: Low light. Ultra-Wide: Landscapes or group shots. 11. Minimalism Simplify your frame to remove clutter.
Accessories Clip-on Lenses: Macro, fisheye or wide angle. External Lights: Better illumination. Phone Gimbal: Smooth video and stabilized photos.
The more you try, the better you’ll get!
