Whether you're taking a spur-of-the-moment snapshot or planned out a perfect composition, camera phones have come a long way when it comes to quality photography.
Because some of the best pictures happen off the cuff when you don't have a regular camera, that phone can capture those photo moments perfectly.
But, like everything else, helpful tips on capturing the perfect shot with your phone's camera can help up your photography game - and get more likes on social media too! OKC Lifestyle Magazine's own Kimberly Richelle shares her best tips for taking that perfect shot.
Kimberly’s dad inspired her love of photography at an early age. They captured nature pictures as well as zoo animals for the OKC Zoo calendar. As a teenager, she was selected to attend Quartz Mountain for Photography. This experience validated her gifts and talents in the visual arts. She earned a Graphic Communications certificate at Francis Tuttle, which prepared her for studying Photographic Arts at the University of Central Oklahoma. Kimberly has had her sports photography published in The Friday newspaper. Currently, the experience of photographing for OKC Lifestyle has been an incredible journey, she said.
Tips:
1. First of all, make sure that your camera lens on your phone is clean. It is easy to have fingerprints on the lens.
2. Consider the background not just the subject. A step from side to side or up and down can do a world of difference for the photo as a whole.
3. Try a different angle altogether. For instance maybe come from below may bring a unique interest especially in nature photography.
4. Window lighting is beautiful - always remember that! So if you are indoors and what good lighting go toward the natural light.
5. Don’t be afraid to try something new and to take multiple pictures, the more you play around with your creativity the more you will cultivate an eye for getting the photo you want!
