These days, anyone and everyone is a food photographer. Whether it’s for your personal Instagram account or your budding lifestyle blog, here are 16 tips for better iPhone photography. Do you struggle to take good iPhone photos at night? Do your images end up grainy and blurred, but you can’t figure out why? What’s the secret to incredible iPhone photography?
let's draw you all to iphonography. what is that Anand? As you might have guessed by its name, iPhonography is the contraction of “iPhone photography” into one word. iPhonography is the art of taking and editing photos with an iPhone, or, to a larger extent, with an iOS device such as an iPod touch or an iPad.
1. Use the iPhone camera
There are lots of great third-party camera apps out there, go with the official iPhone camera only.
2. Use Natural Light
If you shoot in the dark with no light source at all, your iPhone photos won’t turn out well. There has to be some kind of light source to illuminate your subject.
3. shoot from overhead.
4. as well as Shoot From A Low Angle too.
Most people take iPhone photos from chest height. This is usually the most convenient way of taking a picture. But there are usually more creative options for taking great photos. Learning how to take a good photo involves thinking outside the box!
5. Use Burst mode for action shots
hola 100 photos at once and don't have a lot of space? but I suggest you go for burst mode for quick actions. burst mode (available for the iPhone 5s and up) might be just the option you're looking for to capture the best images. Apple included burst mode originally for snapping clear pictures of moving subjects, but I find it works well when your camera is moving, too — by snapping images in quick succession, you're more likely to get a clear shot and you have more options to choose from.
it is very simple to activate burst Mode To shoot in Burst mode, just tap and hold down the shutter button (or volume up button) when you want to begin. While holding down the shutter button, you'll see a counter appear at the bottom of the screen, letting you know how many shots you've snapped. To stop shooting, just lift up your finger and the burst will be saved to your Camera Roll.
6. Hey HDR! I LOVE YOU.
Your iPhone comes with a software feature called High Dynamic Range, or HDR: This lets you snap photos that may have high contrast light sources (say, a bright sunset against a darkening mountain) and still capture a nice image without distorting either the light or the dark area of the picture. Your iPhone does this by snapping several pictures in quick succession at different exposures, then merging them together to create a unified image. You can manually turn HDR on or off from the Camera app, but I prefer iOS 8's HDR Auto (available for the iPhone 5s and up) — it uses information from your iPhone's sensor as you point your device at a subject to determine when an image might need HDR correction, and only then does it turn on HDR mode. (You'll know HDR is enabled by the little yellow "HDR" box that appears at the bottom of the screen.) This can save a little bit of extra storage space on your device and prevents you from shooting HDR unnecessarily.
7. Don’t zoom.
8. Snap photos with the volume button to avoid camera shake.
Because the iPhone is so slick in design, tapping the digital shutter button can cause camera shake and blur the photo you're trying to take. Instead, you can use the volume up button when in the Camera app to snap a photo — and avoid camera shake entirely.
9. I hate the Flash, so you are not allowed to Use flash unless and until it's needed.
Turn off your flash. If an image is too blown out or underexposed for your liking, you can fix it before snapping the picture by adjusting the yellow exposure slider next to the focus square. Recent generations of the iPhone flash are much improved upon their predecessors, but at the end of the day, the flash is still just an LED light: It's just not that powerful, and even with the TrueTone technology it can occasionally emit a strange hue onto your photographs. Instead, try shooting in natural lighting sources, or if you're shooting at night, use the Camera app's exposure slider to boost light in the photo. If you don't mind carrying around a little bit of extra gear, you can DIY LED Flash or anything that omits light bingo!
Just tap once on the focus square and exposure slider, then use the sun icon to increase your exposure by sliding upward, or decrease exposure by sliding downward.
10. Use Grid Option on iPhone camera.
Follow the rule of thirds. Your iPhone has a grid option available, which can aid you in lining up photographs so that they follow the rule of thirds. You can turn this option on by visiting Settings > Photos & Camera and enabling the Grid switch.
11. Lock your focal point and set your exposure before snapping the photo.
You can Lock Focus by tapping and holding on the subject in question until you see the yellow AE/AF Lock alert. This means that the automatic exposure metering and automatic focus metering have been locked on your subject; to remove the lock, just tap anywhere else on the frame. If you're trying to shoot macro photography it is the best mode, you can either try.
12. Pick a simple background. it is like nonsense but it works effectively actually.
13. Garnish your frame, you are going to show off on your social media dude.
14. you are free to Experiment with placement/styling/framing.
Apple's default camera app offers a variety of different modes for taking pictures, including panorama, square, and photo. It may seem like common-sense instruction, but I find that it really helps to shoot in the mode you plan to publish for — for instance, when I'm taking pictures I want to post to Instagram, I shoot in square mode rather than shooting in photo mode and cropping the image afterward. It helps you better frame your picture, rather than trying to invent new framing after-the-fact.
15. Add Human touch, Human element { please don't add your dirty Legs, haha !}
16. Edit to enhance colors, but don’t overedit it.
Use apps like Snapseed or VSCO to enhance the colors, exposure, and white balance in your photos. Don’t oversaturate the colors unless you want your food to look unnatural. Similarly, Don’t overexpose your photos unless you want your food to look strangely bright and white. All you need to do is enhance the natural colors, which should be intact once you get to post-processing if you used good natural light to shoot.
