07:47 – 13 tips for better photos
16:17 – Conclusion
Whether you have an iPhone or a Samsung or whatever, it doesn’t matter as long as your phone has a camera in it. The most critical factor in image quality is not the camera, but the photographer and the decisions they make. And while having loads of high-end lenses and cameras is great, it does encourages you to fall back on those things when making your shot.
Phone photography forces you to call on the basic fundamentals of good photography: Composition, lighting, colour and tone, storytelling, and the decisive moment. It’s a great way to learn.
In this video I take a look at the work of Kathy Ryan from her series, Office Romance, and I take you through 13 important tips for creating great photos with you phone camera.

*There are a lot of comments saying Lightroom Mobile isn’t free. I think people might be getting confused with the desktop app. At the time of making this video and the time of writing this comment, the mobile app is free, so please don’t be put off from downloading and using it.*
*From Adobe’s Website:*
_Lightroom for mobile and tablets is a _*_free_*_ app that gives you a powerful, yet simple solution for capturing, editing and sharing your photos._
The best camera is the one you have with you.
Jamie thanks, you present this so well ❤ and beautiful photos 😊.
Loved this. Could you also recommend a desktop photo editing app that’s more affordable, maybe one that charges a one time fee. Thanks.
The amount of love in those handcrafted transitions, titles and themes for every single video is insaaane
