Here are some suggestions for iPhotography for you to try in order to improve the photos you take with your smartphone.
Rule of 3rds:
- *Look for grid to assist (On iPhone- camera>options (in middle)>grid (on)
- Look for odd numbers
Look for Curves, Patterns and Lines:
- S curves
- Patterns- (IE: Fibonacci Pattern in pineapples, pinecones, etc.)
- Shapes
- Leading Lines- look for leading lines in bridges, overpasses, streams,
Lighting and Effects:
- Shoot in different types of light- night, day, low light
- Look for reflections
- Include people, signs, important “markers” of event
Perspective:
- Shoot from a distance and as close as possible
- Include expression and P.O.V. to make connection to subjects in photo
- Try to tell a story using photos- humor is good
Accessories:
- Test out a few new accessories just for fun- shutters, tripods, lenses that attached to smart phones.
