In the photography world, many believe that digital photography liberalized photography. However, pondering upon it reveals that something else has really conduced to liberalizing photography. Indeed, a mobile phone!
Mobile phones have made the world of photography wide open for many. It has broken the customs of owning a professional camera to be a photographer. Mobile phones have shown that neither the camera nor the lens matters. Nevertheless, the way the equipment is used produces the best photography. Here are a few tips for mobile photography to enhance yourself as a better photographer.
Respect
Although it is mobile phone photography, it is still photography. Hence, it is necessary to respect your phone camera similar to a professional camera. Mobile phones are usually carried around on your body. It is highly likely for the lens to be blemished with oil and dust. Eventually, it would affect the quality of the photo. Therefore, cleaning it with a suitable cloth is mandatory.
Holding The Phone
It is highly recommended to hold the phone in both the hands similar to holding a camera. Holding the phone in one hand and clicking the photos in another, results in a blurred shaken photo. Thus, holding in both hands, and using the thumb or index finger to click the pictures produces a sharp image.
Use Frame Within Frame
Using a frame within a frame makes the pictures look more interesting. It highlights the subject from a different perspective, eventually allowing the background to help convey the story of the picture.
Rule Of Third
The grid option in your mobile phone camera is a picture enhancer. Usually, a 3X3 grid is suggested. The trick is to focus your subject along any one of the lines in the grid and take a shot. That’s it! The camera application would eventually take care of focusing with the gridline as a reference. It is simple, yet effective.
Rule OF Odd
The rule says that if you are shooting some object, try to capture them in odd numbers, say one, three or five. Generally, abiding by this rule makes the photo look more fascinating.
Rule Of Symmetry
We as human beings love symmetry. Knowingly or unknowingly, humans enjoy and appreciate symmetry, which is evident in ancient to present architecture. Hence, consciously bringing symmetry in your shot would make it look better. In this case, gridlines are useful to align with the symmetry.
