The iPhone camera works very well at close range. That is why selfies always turn out great on it. Shoot everything like a selfie. Shoot at close range and produce high quality photos.

Shoot as Many Times Possible

The good thing about digital photography is that you are not wasting anything and it doesn’t cost you a penny when you take multiple shots. So, when you are taking a picture of sceneries or persons that you don’t regularly see, fire away and take as many shots as you can. Don’t worry about memory space. You can erase the pictures later on and leave only the best of them. Or, you can always transfer everything to your desk top computer.

More Lights the Better

The iPhone camera works best in natural sunlight. It also works great in well-lit rooms. But, when you have to take pictures at night or in a dark room, never use the flash. Sorry to say, but the cellphone’s flash is only a flashlight. It will be better if you use whatever light source there is in the dark room or dark night. Shooting the photo of your subject under the street lamp with your iPhone turns out very well. In a dim-lit bar, you can always take your photos beside any soft neon lights.

Set the Resolution and Picture Quality to High

Unless you want a grainy effect, you should always set the resolution and picture quality to high. Always check your settings before starting to shoot because you might end up with a collection of less than optimum quality photos.

Clean the Lens

Finally, you have to clean your lens before starting to shoot. You don’t need any special cleaning material for your iPhone camera lens. They don’t easily scratch. You can use your shirt to wipe the grime of it.

By applying these tips to your iPhone photography, you will see noticeable improvements in your pictures. Who knows, the quality of your shots might even be inspire you to take on the hobby of real photography.
