Phone cameras have gotten increasingly better over the last decade but within the last couple years they have gotten to professional levels, which I’ve made multiple videos about on this channel. In this video I cover over ten simple tips that will take your photos to professional levels and the best part is you can go at your own pace. I’ve structured the lessons in this video to take it as serious or as casual as you’d like.

Learning photography doesn’t have to be complicated. Many may think a phone isn’t powerful enough or it’s too limited. The reality is that the phones weakness of versatility is actually it’s greatest strength. When you are limited with choices it means you have to get creative. This is the definition of creativity and where phone photography flourishes. If you start capturing great images on your phone, you’ll absolutely capture amazing images on anything else.

Throughout this video I’ll cover simple settings you can do on your phone to achieve better images, thinking with more intention when you’re out to create images with photography, and how to craft better stories using composition and lighting no matter what camera you’re shooting with.
