You don’t need an expensive camera to capture amazing photos, you just need your phone. That’s it!!! Yes, your phone can capture very good photographs if you follow some tips and tricks.
Here are some tips you can follow to create amazing portraits by your phone just like DSLR photography:
- Use gridlines to balance your shot
You should turn on the gridline view to improve your mobile photos. According to photography principles, if you place points of interests in these intersections along with the gridlines, your photo will look more balanced, levelled and allow spectators to get engaged more with the photo.
- Set the focus of your camera
Today auto adjust focusing features are available in the latest mobile phones, but it is not obvious that every picture you are taking in your phone has a specific subject. If you are taking a snapshot of a moving subject, then adjust the focus in a way that it will ensure the focus as much as possible on the desired subject. Professional photographers prefer to give two thirds of the photo space to the main subject and rest of the free space will be negative space which helps the subject to get highlighted even more. The brightness, size and contrast colour lights can also be adjusted after you have taken the photos in the different mobile camera app.
- Find different angles and perspectives
Taking photos from unique angles will obviously make them more unique and make the photography more memorable. It will make your image more special which can stand out from the simply taken photos. You can try to take photos directly upward and making sky as an empty space. Or you can try taking downward angle to make them more realistic.
- Embrace reflections
It is something so tranquil when a sky reflects in body of water. Our eyes are drawn to reflections. There are plenty of places to find some great reflections – mirror, puddle, glasses, metallic surfaces, etc.
- Look for symmetry
Symmetry means a vague sense of beautiful and harmonious proportions of balance. Photos having a great symmetry will look so pleasant and attractive. Creating an image that are divided in two equal parts that can be looked like a mirror image of each other is the most captivating way to compose a photo.
- Try colour blocking
It is so cool that your subject is only having colours unlike the black and white backdrop. Colour blocking can help you to make your subject stand out from the background. Colour blocking is similar as negative space creation.
At the end, you should not be afraid to edit the photos. You can remove blemishes and unwanted parts from your photo and adjust the light and contrast. Say Cheese!!
