Unleash Your Inner Photographer! ??
From seasoned pros to everyday enthusiasts, we all share one thing in common: our trusty smartphones as our go-to cameras.
Did you know that 90% of all photos taken worldwide are snapped with phones? Yep, that's the power of mobile photography! ?
So whether you're capturing picturesque landscapes, candid moments, or dazzling selfies, we're about to dive into the ultimate guide of 10 game-changing tips to elevate your smartphone photography.
Let's uncover the secrets to turning every shot into a masterpiece. Ready? Let's go!
1. Clean your lens
Photos looking a little milky? This is the biggest problem we see on smartphone cameras. Because the lens is so small, it’s very easy for it to get dirty while you’re using your phone for other things. You spend the whole day holding your phone, so make sure you wipe away those smeary marks before you start snapping. Remember to clean the front camera, too.
2. Focusing
Focus makes the photo. Try not to just point and shoot, but take time to make sure that the main subject of your photo is in focus. Most Nokia smartphones have touch focusing. Just touch the most important part of the image on the display and the camera will adjust focus to make sure it looks nice and sharp.

3. Apply the rule of thirds
This is a simple concept that helps you compose your landscape-orientation images. It’s based on the idea that by dividing an image into nine equal parts to form a three-by-three grid creates visual interest. You should aim to place the main subject of your photo – like a tree line or a group of faces – in the intersections or along the lines. The left or right third of the image usually yields the best results.
4. Consider the Flash and use Night Mode
Using the flash on your phone can sometimes result in too much noise and not great photos. With increasing performance in low light conditions, turning off the flash could improve your nighttime photos. Shooting at a concert in dark conditions? The flash is not going to reach the stage, only the people in front of you. At a zoo shooting through glass? You will have a bad photo and you could scare the animals.
When you are shooting in daylight and the subject is in shadow, that’s the time to use a flash – it can give some great portrait results. But in low-light conditions, like in the evening, try using Night Mode instead. A lot of people don’t use it, but it’s a simple and powerful feature.
5. Steady your shot
Smartphone cameras are sensitive to movement. Even a slight shake can leave a smartphone photo looking blurry. So, we want to minimize camera shake as much as possible. A tripod will stop this. The good news is that you can buy small, cheap tripods specifically for smartphones from most online vendors.
If you don’t want to buy a tripod, then using a wall, a friend’s shoulder, or even your other arm will help reduce camera shake. Keeping the shot steady is especially important in low-light conditions when the longer exposure times are that much longer.
