How to become an ace smartphone photographer

Because there’s only so much ghastly stuff our eyes can take

The smartphone is now the defacto standard for 99 per cent photographs shot in this world. People do use other photography equipment, but it’s mostly DSLR for pros, point and shoots for people that still don’t get that their phone has a better camera, and cameras like GoPro for those that need action photography.

The more light that enters your camera, the better the picture will be!

You cannot get a great picture unless your camera is absolutely still at the moment the shutter is pressed

Invest in a phone that has good optical stabilisation

Keep a mini tripod when you know you’ll be shooting a lot of pictures.

Shoot with a clear distinct background, don’t have something very busy in the front and back, don’t merge foreground colour with background, and keep adequate distance between the two
