Do you know the best angles to shoot from? Want to learn how to frame a shot properly on your phone or how to work with natural lighting? Our phone camera expert reveals all…
01 TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES
Isaac says: “i went to the grand canyon a while ago and shot 1,400 pictures in one week, and liked seven of these. When you’re shooting portraits especially, never take just one – take many to ensure you get just the right expression! (the google photos app gives you unlimited storage. use it.)”
T3 says: If you’re visiting a once-in-a-lifetime location, make sure you get a variety of shots from different angles. A slight shift in position to the left or right can make a significant difference to the dynamics of your images. One potential problem is that as camera sensors get higher resolution, the pictures take up more space. If your phone can take a microSD card, make sure you add a big one (128GB or more, if your phone supports it) so that you don’t have to worry about the number of shots (or how much 4K video you take).
If you can’t add storage to your phone (as is the case with iPhone, for example), send photos to a cloud service then delete them from your device when more room is needed, or get some external storage that you can connect – there are USB keys and hard drives that work with iPhone (see p81).
02 KEEP YOUR CAMERA OUT
Isaac says: “make sure you always have your camera out. it sounds obvious, but you need to be ready.”
