Use natural lines in your scene to lead the viewer’s eye towards the main subject. This can be roads, fences, or any lines that create a path from the edge of the frame to the focus point.

Use time-lapse mode to capture changes over an extended period and compress them into a short video. This is great for capturing crowds, moving clouds, or any scene that changes gradually.

Understand the dynamic range of your smartphone's camera. It's the range of light to dark that your camera can capture. Be aware of overly bright or dark scenes, and adjust your composition accordingly.

Use burst mode to capture several photos in quick succession by holding down the shutter button. This is perfect for capturing action shots where timing is critical.

Find scenes with symmetry or repeating patterns and use them to create visually appealing compositions. Symmetry can add balance, while patterns can make photos more captivating and dynamic.

A vignette is a slight darkening of the corners of a photo. Apply it during editing to subtly draw attention towards the center of the frame. Be careful not to overdo it.

Utilize photo editing apps to enhance your images. Adjust exposure, contrast, saturation, and sharpness to improve your photographs. Be cautious to not over-edit.

Tap and hold on the subject to lock focus and exposure. This prevents the camera from re-adjusting when you move your phone, resulting in consistent focus and lighting.

Capture photos that tell a story. Include elements that give context to your subject, or arrange your compositions in a way that guides viewers through a visual narrative.

Get creative with your angle and point of view. Try shooting from above, below, or unusual angles to present your subject in an interesting way.

Utilize panorama mode to capture a wide field of view. Gently sweep your phone across the scene to stitch together a wide, continuous image. Best for landscapes and cityscapes.

Use your phone’s portrait mode to create a shallow depth of field. This feature often uses software to blur the background while keeping the subject sharp, mimicking the look of a professional camera.

Pay attention to the color palette in your scene. Use complementary colors to make your images pop, or a monochromatic scheme for a more cohesive and subtle look.

Zoom in or get close to your subject to fill the frame completely. This eliminates distractions and focuses attention on the subject, providing more detail.

Keep your compositions simple. Focus on one main subject and avoid clutter. Simplicity can often lead to a more powerful and understandable image.

Take advantage of the natural light available, such as golden hour light just after sunrise or before sunset. Avoid harsh midday sun. Natural light can accentuate textures and colors, and help you achieve better overall image quality.

Use empty or open space around your subject to draw attention to it. This can help create a minimalist and clean composition, emphasizing the subject without distractions.

Use High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode to capture more details in the bright and dark areas of your photograph. HDR takes multiple shots at different exposures and combines them into one image.

Divide your image using two horizontal and two vertical lines. Place important elements along these lines or at their intersections. This technique helps to create balance and interest in your composition.
