Taking stunning photos with the iPhone

You don’t need a DSLR anymore, the cameras in the new generation of mobile phones are adequate.

Media people often embellish their stories with pictures taken not with a professional camera, but rather an iPhone or other mobile phone camera.

— Firstly composition. Use the rule of thirds and avoid placing the subject of the photo directly in the middle of the frame.

— Different perspectives. Point your camera up or down at a subject to avoid a flat, straight-on shot. Constantly move around to look for different angles that work. Get onto your knees to get a different angle.

— Use shapes and lines in your surroundings, like a walkway, to bring the eye to a certain point in the picture.

— Make sure the background of the photo isn’t too busy. Don't let the background dominate the picture.

— delete blurred photos. Don’t push the phone with your finger when taking a picture. Instead, keep the finger already on the button, then release after setting the frame. Keep your elbows in against your body and hold your breath when snapping a photo. Or, use a sturdy surface like a table to take a picture.

— Never use the digital zoom on a mobile phone. Instead, zoom with your feet and get closer to the subject yourself.

— Avoid direct sunlight. Instead, have the sunlight angle on a subject from a three-quarter angle.

— Take many more photos than needed, just in case, you will not run out of film.
