2 Expert-Approved Tricks To Enhance Your iPhone Camera’s Photo Quality For Stunning Pictures

Check Your Lighting

Lighting is everything when it comes to snapping a great photo. Positioning your subject so that the light is directly facing them or slightly to one side will help cast away awkward shadows that can be distracting in pictures. But the trick here is to use natural lighting that is soft and diffused and to avoid harsh, direct light such as that from the sun. Taking a little more time to find a good light source before you snap a photo will save you the headache of scrolling through countless pictures you’ve taken and wondering why they all look bad or slightly off.

Investing in a light ring can help if you plan on taking photos in areas that lack windows and natural light.

Focus and HDR

After you’ve found the best light possible for your photo, spend some time setting up your camera settings to create the best outcomes. This may mean something as simply as tapping on the area in the photo where you want the focus to be. This will cause your phone to adjust its exposure so that the person or object you’e tapped on is highlighted.

Another important setting is High Dynamic Range, or HDR. This setting combines multiple exposures so that your image has more color and light balance, with crisper detail in both the bright and dark sections of your photograph.

Taking a few extra minutes to set up your shot by finding great light and working with some of your iPhone camera’s settings will help you get the highest quality photo possible.
