In fact, by <strong>tweaking the settings, angle and lighting<\/strong>, plus the use of multi-featured apps and tools, you might be able to snap more interesting and beautiful pictures that <strong>capture the essence of the moment<\/strong> than you can with a camera.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we will look into a few <strong>handy tips that help improve your smartphone photography<\/strong>.

Know your phone camera settings<\/h2>\n<p>First off, <strong>don\u2019t rely on your phone\u2019s default auto mode<\/strong>. Of course, tapping on where you want the phone to focus on will give you a sharper focus on the subject. However, you can improve the overall quality of your images by tweaking the other aspects in an image. Although different phones have different settings, most should be able to let you control the<strong> focus, exposure, white balance <\/strong>and<strong> ISO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/camsettings.jpg\" alt=\"phone camera settings\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Note that some cameras <strong>lock both the exposure and focus together<\/strong> so depending on where you focus, you may change the lighting of your photo. As for white balance, there are four settings to choose from. It is best to <strong>match them according to the environment you are shooting<\/strong> to light up your photos better.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/whitebalance.jpg\" alt=\"phone camera settings\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>For example, Cloudy and Daylight are more suitable for outdoor shoots whereas Flourescent and Incandescent are used indoors. That said, you can choose to <strong>mix them up to create different tones and moods<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Set your resolution high<\/h2>\n<p>It goes without saying that the higher the resolution of your photo, the better quality it is. When taking images with a smartphone camera, try to go as close as possible to the subject rather than zooming in when you take a shot. You will get better-resolution photos cropped, than zoomed in.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/resolution2.jpg\" alt=\"resolution high\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Of course, with higher resolution photos, you come across the problem of having enough storage to store them all. You can solve this by <strong>storing your photos externally<\/strong>, rather than in your phone. Try <strong>photo-sharing apps or cloud storage services<\/strong> like Picasa or Dropbox, or you can even consider getting an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eye-Fi\">Eyefi<\/a> SD card to <strong>automatically do the photo transfers for you<\/strong>, via an Internet connection.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Yes back camera, No front Camera<\/h2>\n<p>Sure, the front camera makes it easier to take your selfies. It however doesn\u2019t eliminate the fact that the <strong>front camera in general has lower resolution specs<\/strong> than the back. This is mainly because the back camera is better equipped with more megapixels whereas the front camera\u2019s function is supposed to be for video conferencing.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, why not use both? <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/frontback-iphone-app\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Frontback<\/a> is an app that lets you take photos with both the front camera and the back camera. This allows the photo-taker to be in the activity alongsie everyone else.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Lenses are the windows to your soul<\/h2>\n<p>You take all your photos through lenses so yes, they are integral to the photo-taking process. When you store your smartphone in your pocket or bags, your lenses are bound to get some dust on them. <strong>Give your phone camera lens a wipe<\/strong> every now to clear any grime or fingerprint stains. You might be surprised with what a simple act of cleaning can do to your pictures.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/attachable-lens.jpg\" alt=\"Lenses\" height=\"364\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/lenses-improve-iphone-camera\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 10 Best Lenses For Your iPhone Camera\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10 Best Lenses For Your iPhone Camera<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/lenses-improve-iphone-camera.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-18896 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/lenses-improve-iphone-camera.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">10 Best Lenses For Your iPhone Camera<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tImprove Your iPhone Camera Quality with These Lenses.

Tripods & Monopods got your back<\/h2>\n<p>Your phone camera\u2019s stabilizing function can only do so much and if you have ever been frustrated by a blurred snap, you will appreciate the clarity afforded to you by tripods and monopods. Tripods are great for shooting in slow-shutter speeds, whereas the monopod is a single long staff that lets you take a shot (usually of yourself) from a distance away \u2013 perfect for selfies (below).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/monopod.jpg\" alt=\"Monopods\" height=\"369\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Most phone tripods are <strong>small and portable<\/strong> like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/joby.com\/global\/gorillapod\/\">GorillaPod<\/a>; you can always bring it on the go. There are also tripods which you can wrap around poles and bars to let you take photos from an impossible angle. For monopods, you can check out the lightweight and extendable <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/838381937\/cellfie-great-photos-under-your-finger\">Cellfie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Go towards the light<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest probelms with taking photos indoor is the lack of natural lighting. The right amount of lighting can make food look more appetizing, facial expressions more cheerful and environments more welcoming. As much as possible, <strong>try to take your photos under natural lighting<\/strong>. You can do this by going near windows or doors when taking photos indoors, and to sources of light like neon signs or street lamps when snapping photos outdoors.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/nearlight.jpg\" alt=\"light\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Additionally, do <strong>keep in mind where your source of lighting is coming from<\/strong>. The general rules on lighting are the same here as it is in traditional photography \u2013 avoid back light when taking pictures of people unless you want to go for the silhouette effect. If you shoot your subject using side light, it can capture texture and depth.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/lightsource.jpg\" alt=\"light\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>While we are on the subject of low light photography, <strong>don\u2019t use flash<\/strong>. The camera flash you have on your phone is almost always too harsh and rarely helpful. Instead<strong> try increasing your camera\u2019s exposure and ISO levels<\/strong>. Alternatively you could use an external flash like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/iblazr-external-flash-smartphone\/\" rel=\"noopener\">iBlazer<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/improve-iphone-low-light-lightstrap\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Lightstrap<\/a>. You can even download night photography apps <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/night-camera-low-light-photos\/id843439749\">Night Cam<\/a> for iOS and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.white_night.nightvisioncamera&hl=en&gl=US\">Night Camera<\/a> for Android for a better photo-taking experience.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Composition rules, period<\/h2>\n<p>Nothing beats composition as a way to <strong>take attractive pictures<\/strong>. Learn some <strong>basic composition like Rule of Third, leading lines, scale, framing<\/strong> to name just a few (for more info, check out this <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digital-photo-secrets.com\/tip\/3372\/18-composition-rules-for-photos-that-shine\/\">article<\/a>). Once you think you\u2019ve got the rules of composition down, break them, by playing with other aspects like lighting and angles.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/angle.jpg\" alt=\"Composition rules\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Speaking of angles, shooting from a different angle can sometimes make your subject more <strong>flattering and interesting<\/strong> (there is a reason why selfies are shot from up above, not down below). It also <strong>presents a different point of view<\/strong> and sometimes highlight overlooked details. Don\u2019t be afraid to stand atop a chair or crouch down low to get that perfect angle.<\/p>\n<h2>8. of panorama & burst modes<\/h2>\n<p>Most phones have a panorama mode. Even if yours don\u2019t, you can download an app to take or stitch your 180-degree photos like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/photosynth.en.softonic.com\/iphone\">Photosynth<\/a> (iOS) and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.facebook.rethinkvision.Bimostitch&hl=en&gl=US\">Autostitch Panorama Pro<\/a> (Android). They are great for taking landscape photos, provided you can keep your hand steady enough to grab a well-stitched shot. Also, <strong>moving objects <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/entertainment\/\">don\u2019t<\/a> make a good panorama.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/pangonewrong.jpg\" alt=\"panorama & burst modes\" height=\"303\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Speaking of snapping photos of moving objects and people, they are not going to keep still for your phone camera. To not miss that perfect moment, activate your phone or camera app\u2019s burst mode. It will <strong>take multiple pictures at a time<\/strong> which will <strong>increase the possibility of snapping at least one clear image you can use<\/strong>. Safe to say, this is a great mode for catching kids and pets in motion \u2013 life stops for no one.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/panoramic-photography-30-breathtaking-photos\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: Panoramic Photography: 30 Breathtaking Photos\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Panoramic Photography: 30 Breathtaking Photos<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/panoramic-photography-30-breathtaking-photos.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-6777 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/panoramic-photography-30-breathtaking-photos.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">Panoramic Photography: 30 Breathtaking Photos<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPanoramic photography, also known as wide-angle photography is a technique that captures a much wider perspective of the...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>9. Third-Party camera apps<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned before, your phone\u2019s camera has limited functions. Consider getting a third-party camera app to <strong>overcome those limitations<\/strong>. Some apps like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/id329670577\">Camera+<\/a> (iOS) and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.neaststudios.procapture.free\">ProCapture Free<\/a> (Android) have additional features alongside the normal phone settings. Others have more <strong>specialized functions<\/strong> like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/slow-shutter-cam-long-exposure\/id357404131\">Slow Shutter Cam<\/a> (iOS).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/camapp.jpg\" alt=\"Third-Party camera apps\" height=\"281\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Many of these third-party apps are <strong>regularly updated with new features<\/strong>, filters, modes and options as well. This beats getting a new phone just to get more photo-snapping features to play with.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Photo-Editing Apps<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes there is only so much we can control when taking a photo. A lot of the enhancement has to come from the use of photo-editing apps <em>after<\/em> the photos are taken. Some apps like Camera+ and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro\">Camera FV-5<\/a>(Android) <strong>come coupled with a photo editor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ways-improve-smartphone-photography\/editapp.jpg\" alt=\"Photo-Editing Apps\" height=\"444\" width=\"500\"><\/figure>\n<p>Photoshop Express (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/adobe-photoshop-express\/id331975235?amp%3Bls=1\">iOS<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.adobe.psmobile\">Android<\/a>) and Pixlr Express (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/pixlr-express-plus\/id526783584\">iOS<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.pixlr.express\">Android<\/a>) perform editing functions like crop, straighten, rotate, flip and removing red eye.
