“The best camera is the one you have with you,” photographers used to say, but today this statement carries extra weight because everyone has an excellent camera with them in their smartphone. The quality is also continually improving.
Because the device is so accessible, you will reach for your smartphone more quickly when you want to take photographs: you do not need to buy a new, expensive camera, remember to bring it, or import the photograph, and you can share all your photographs from that same smartphone.
If you enjoy using your smartphone for photography but are not yet satisfied with your results, this book will help you get everything you can out of its camera. Professional photographer Jeroen Jazet teaches you about the best and latest capabilities. Ninety percent of those capabilities are still unknown to the average smartphone photographer.
In this book, Jeroen Jazet deliberately avoids focusing too much on a specific smartphone, since new models and versions appear every month. He uses the iPhone 8 Plus in this book. The descriptions make most features easy to find in both iOS and Android software; the instructions work on all platforms.
The following topics are covered:
- Basic knowledge of smartphone photography
- Working with manual smartphone settings
- Creating better compositions
- Photographing landscapes and portraits
- Portrait photography with a smartphone
- Working in RAW and HDR on a smartphone
- Alternative camera apps
- Editing smartphone photographs immediately
- Plenty of tips and tricks to make your photographs even more spectacular
You will learn to create better landscapes, portraits, and photo stories, and receive information about the best apps for photography and image editing. You will also get many new and little-known tips and tricks that you can put into practice immediately. As a result, this book helps you make the most of your smartphone’s photographic capabilities, from the basics through finishing your images.
The book is structured so that most general topics are covered in chapter 1. Here, you will get to know the smartphone camera much better so that you can use it more creatively.
Good to know: after purchasing the book, you will receive free access to the web version, among other things.
