Nowadays, the camera of an iPhone already allows you to take great photos and its quality is similar to that of a professional camera. Follow our tips and become a true photos for Instagram professional.
1. Use "portrait mode"
The latest iPhone models (the 7 Plus, the 8 Plus or the X/XS) feature a function called "portrait mode" or "portrait mode". This function allows you to take photos of people, blurring the background and simultaneously applying some improvements to the photo.
This mode allows you to not only look better in your photos but also make them more artistic and appealing for that like you've been waiting for.
Within "portrait mode", the iPhone presents you with several options: natural light, studio light, contour light, stage light and mono stage light. Each option has a set of specific features that add a special touch to your photos. Don't forget that it's a good idea to always try to use the same filters and options on your photos to ensure consistency in your Instagram feed, making it more appealing and interesting.
2. Use the grill
Good framing is essential for the success of a good photo. The iPhone lets you use a grid that helps you frame the subjects in your photo. This way, you can ensure that the person or object you are photographing is centered (or not, depending on your objective) and that the perspective of the photo is also the most appropriate.
It's easy to activate the support grid on your iPhone. To do this, go to settings, select "Camera" and activate the grid.
3. Pay attention to the light
It's true that, with your iPhone, you can take good photos even in situations with less light. However, light is critical to distinguishing a good photo... from a less good one! When you're taking your photo, pay attention to the source of the light, reflections and signals in the camera. You can also, for example, "play" with shadows, ensuring that, if you are photographing a person, for example, the light falls evenly on their face.
In environments with less light, choose to use your iPhone's flash, which will guarantee you the best image quality, even at dusk.
Be careful not to overexpose your photo and don't forget that you can control the photo's lighting in post-editing. However, you already know that everyone prefers an originally beautiful photo.
4. Natural is better
The more natural the photo, the more incredible it can look. Choose to avoid using zoom in your photos and reduce "post-production" to the bare minimum. An overly processed or digitized photo is easily detected by your Instagram followers. The secret is to do a lot, with little. So, if you are far from the person or object you want to photograph, play with perspectives, for example. Make the most of what you have at your disposal, ensuring more natural and beautiful photos.
Post-production (using apps such as VSCO, Snapseed or others) should be limited to correcting small defects in the photo such as framing, tilting, removing small imperfections, etc. Remember: the best photos are the simplest.
5. Do what hasn't been done yet
Yes, everyone knows the photo in which someone positions their fingers as if they were holding the Eiffel Tower in their hands or the typical photo in which someone is holding the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But, it's up to you to be unique and reinvent your own photos. Try new framing - for example, if you're photographing a person, try positioning them on one side of the photo and only capturing half of their face, using the remaining space in the photo for the background.
Another interesting example you can try is an inverted self-portrait. Confused? We explain - try, for example, photographing a cell phone in front of you with your iPhone's camera where you can see... your face. This is an original and mysterious photo, great for catching the attention of your Instagram followers.
