Best tips for taking pictures with your cell phone

Your cell phone is the best ally to capture beautiful moments.

Photography goes hand in hand with art and is the medium that reveals feelings and emotions with just an image, without saying a word. We see amazing photographs, as well as of monuments, animals, landscapes, personal, family and social, that make us return to that wonderful place or moment.

The cameras are no longer the same as before, that to see a photo they had to take them to a certain process and that you could only see them days later.

Today, thanks to technology, it is a matter of seconds to capture and have the best photos on your cell phone. Although we know that being a photographer is not easy at all, today we have the opportunity to pursue this career with only a state-of-the-art phone.

These are the best tips for taking photos with your mobile

Play with natural light in your favor

Light plays a fundamental role in taking any photo, since, as we know, it is the main thing to have to take it. Natural light will provide you with a completely pleasing photo and gives the real effect to anyone who looks at the photo.

Let's remember that the art of photography is often in the photographer, not in the tool he uses, so you will have to keep this very well guarded.

Light plays a fundamental role.

The light can be moved from place, as long as you want to take the photo, so it is highly recommended to have a place where there is no excess light, but where you can see it with great clarity.

That is why one of the problems we have today with some high-generation mobiles is that no matter how much you look for natural light, it will always look somewhat artificial and the effect that falls on the photo is not ideal.

You don't always have to be outside in a field or on a balcony, because natural light can also be reflected on a wall, table and even on a window.

Take advantage of spaces with natural light to take excellent photos.

The important thing is that the light that is penetrated in the photograph is natural. So you don't have to be under sunlight, to have a desired and very good photo.

Be very careful going against the light

Going against the light is one of the worst cases, since many times the photo is completely blurred. Where you can't see what you're photographing and the only thing you could get is a union with light and dark.

Having the concept of photography is the basis.

Many of these photos can become attractive as long as it is the context you want to put together with the photograph.

The times these photos are taken are accompanied by a nostalgic countenance, a vague memory and even a kind of gloom. Great photographers say that the best way to take a photo is under a dark reality.

But if your idea is not at all similar, then I suggest you never go against the light, unless that is what you want.

The Flash is not always necessary

At the time of a party we see people with their stunning flashes from some cameras on their cell phones, as well as from professional cameras and we wonder if that is completely necessary.

Well, no, it is not as necessary as people think, since the image is distanced from being a photograph to be appreciated and is converted into just a moment captured by the photographer's inertia. So I recommend you not to use flash and look for some artificial or natural light.

The times that it is necessary and that it is excellent in a photo when using flash, are photos at a distance from an object, where obviously the reflection of the flash will be seen and the photography will be objective.

That is why many times when taking flash photos of people at night, we notice that reddish color in the eyes or in some glass object that is seen encapsulated in light. And it is that not taking care of the distance when taking a photograph will completely distort the idea you have.

Find the most suitable position together with the environment

Taking the right position will give you a different perspective, a completely friendly or deafening plane where the object or person you are going to photograph is the protagonist of the photo.

Taking the environment as a canvas will help you more than you think, since many times the bottom plane plays a crucial role in conveying the feeling of the photograph and if you do it properly, you will undoubtedly have a photo to remember.

Creative minds generate the best photographs.

Taking care of the distance, playing with the rotation of the camera and the position of some light, can thus lead you to be one of the most experienced photographers with your cell phone.

That is why it is always recommended to people who enter photography, to help themselves with the pictures. Well, symmetry plays an important role in taking the most desired photograph.

Reflections on many occasions can become completely unique and make the photo a moment encapsulated in a format. So if you have a mirror produced by nature, or a way to capture the double moment under a mirror, you will undoubtedly see the change that you would give to the photo.

Natural mirrors to capture.

Remember that everything will depend on what you want to convey in the photo you are going to take.
