Smart phones have changed the notion of orthodox photography , largely because it is easier to carry around a camera phone that fits in your pocket reducing the relevance of traditional cameras This new way of life has swept across many phases of photography and also how professional photographers, photojournalists and information gathering.
Most of us underestimate the capabilities of our smartphone cameras leading to unattractive pictures or underage. Below are few tips which we could use in getting the best out of our smart phone cameras.
1. Set your resolution High
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 quality photos cropped, than zoomed in.




2. Make more use of your back Camera
The back camera is better equipped with more pixels and so supports more clearer images, front camera makes it easier to take your selfies. It however doesn’t eliminate the fact that the front camera in general has lower resolution specs than the back.
You can maximise both by using apps like FrontBack, FronBack is an app that lets you take photos with both the front camera and the back camera.

3. Know your phone camera settings
First off, don’t rely on your phone’s default auto mode . 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 t
Note that some cameras lock both the exposure and focus together 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 match them according to the environment you are shooting to light up your photos better.
For example, Cloudy and Daylight are more suitable for outdoor shoots whereas Fluorescent and Incandescent are used indoors. That said, you can choose to mix them up to create different tones and moods.

4. Stay Composed
Staying composed goes a long way in having a great photo, Learn some basic composition like Rule of Third, leading lines, scale and framing.
Speaking of angles, shooting from a different angle can sometimes make your subject more
flattering and interesting (there is a reason why selfies are shot from up above, not down below). It also presents a different point of view and sometimes highlight overlooked details. Don’t be afraid to stand atop a chair or crouch down low to get that perfect angle.

5.Go towards the light
One of the biggest problems 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, try to take your photos under natural lighting . 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.
