You Don't Need to be in a Photography Studio to Take Great Photos

You don't necessarily have to have the best camera on the market or be in a photo studio in order to take fabulous pictures. Whatever camera you happen to have will do, especially if you use a few professional pointers and tips on how to take great pictures.

If all you happen to have is a phone with camera function, such as an iPhone, you can be sure to get get great shots even with these handy little hand-helds. Follow some of these tips to take great photos with your iPhone.


Top 5 iPhone Photography Tips

• Tip 1 - Don't Use the Zoom Function Unless you want a picture that will be blurry, poor quality with low resolution, don't use the zoom function. Your best zoom function is your feet - do everything you can to get as close to the subject as you need to in order to capture the subject properly and with high quality. The zoom function on the iPhone generally will result in a photo with grainy texture and a cluttered background.

• Tip 2 - Keep the Lens Clean This may sound like a no-brainer, but you need to ensure that the lense is kept clean before taking any pictures. Considering how often most people use their phones, there will most likely be all sorts of fingerprints or grease stains on the lens, which can get in the way of producing a clear, high quality picture. Be sure to give it a good wipe before you engage in photography with your iPhone.

• Tip 3 - Use Apps For iPhone Photography You absolutely must try a few photo apps that can be purchased at the AppStore. These apps can help you create amazing pieces, such as a collage, cartoon versions, spectacular backdrops, and beautiful frames that are usually only done in a photography studio. The apps provide you with as many tools as you need to use your imagination and creativity to the fullest extent.

• Tip 4 - Focus by Tapping Some iPhones may need you to tap on the spot where you want the focus to be. All you have to do is move closely into where the subject of interest is, and tap on that main spot on the screen in order to obtain a sharper focus. The newer versions may already have a built-in autofocus function, but for those with older versions of the iPhone, use the tapping function to focus.

• Tip 5 - Use as Much Light as Possible Whether you are using natural sunlight or artificial indoor lighting, you need to ensure that there is ample light in order to have a quality photo taken. Most commonly pro level indoor photography seen in top level photography studios' portfolios as for example Quarum Photography from Torontois taken by top end DSLRs that have outstanding low-light performance. The iPhone does not house a camera that is capable of such performance, hence you must pick your shots based on the surrounding lighting conditions.
