Phones are the best cameras for photography.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you have iPhone, use the “Procamera” app, and shoot with the full screen trigger. Also lock exposure on a white t shirt, or a highlight (thanks to @OGGSIE and Misho for the tip).<\/li>\n
  2. Shoot a shit load: Photos on your photos are free. Backup your photos on Google Photos app for free. Shoot 1,000 photos in a day, and choose your 1 favorite photo, and publish it or share it.<\/li>\n
  3. Use VSCO: best mobile photography editing app. I’m a big fan of A6 preset. Honestly, a lot of my phone photos processed in VSCO looked better than medium-format film<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. If you have a shitty camera phone process your photos in black and white high contrast. The grain and grit will look nice.<\/li>\n
  5. Shoot in airplane mode. Don’t let your camera phone you (thanks to Brendan O’ Sea for the tip).<\/li>\n
  6. Follow great phone photographers like Aik Beng Chia, OGGSIE, Misho Baranovic, Josh White, Jinhao, Brendan O’Se, Sheldon Serkin, Daniel Arnold. Check out the #wearethestreet collective for more inspiration.<\/li>\n
  7. Study the masters of photography<\/a>, and apply composition rules to your phone photos.<\/li>\n
  8. Shoot during golden hour (sunrise, sunset) for more beautiful colors.<\/li>\n
  9. Use the phone flash for more saturated colors.<\/li>\n
  10. Join STREET CLUB on ERIC KIM FORUM<\/a> for inspiration, and buy STREET NOTES MOBILE EDITION<\/a> for inspiration on the go.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
