1. Enable gridlines to balance your shot.​

One of the easiest and best ways to improve your mobile photos is to turn on the camera's gridlines. That superimposes a series of lines on the screen of your smartphone's camera that are based on the "You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now." — a photographic composition principle that says an image should be broken down into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, so you have nine parts in total. According to this theory, if you place points of interest in these intersections or along the lines, your photo will be more balanced, level, and allow viewers to interact with it more naturally.

2. Set your camera's focus.​

Tap the screen to correct your phone camera's focus just before snapping the picture to ensure the moving subject has as much focus as possible.

3. Embrace negative space.​

"Negative space" simply refers to the areas around and between the subjects of an image — and it can take a photo from "good" to "great."
what does negative space looks like? It's often a large expanse of open sky, an empty field, a large wall, or water.

4. Find different perspectives.​

Try taking a photo directly upward and playing with the sky as negative space, like in the first photo below. Or, you can try taking it at a slight downward angle.

5. Play with reflections.​

some of these are puddles, larger bodies of water, mirrors, sunglasses, drinking glasses, and metallic surfaces .

6. Use leading lines.​

These are line that draws the viewer's eye toward a certain part of the frame. It can be straight or circulinear — think staircases, building facades, train tracks, roads, or even a path through the woods.

7.Look for symmetry.​

8. Keep an eye out for repetitive patterns.​

lines, geometric shapes, forms, and colors. These patterns can make a strong visual impact​

9.Avoid zooming in.​

doing so can make the photo appear grainy, blurry, or pixelated.

10. Capture small details.​

Close-up images that capture small, intricate, and delicate details can make for really compelling visual content. Keep an eye out for textures and patterns like peeling paint, a gravel road, or a tile tabletop.

11. Use natural light.​

Take advantage of the sources of natural light you can find, even after dark. This gives you a chance to play with shadows, like in the second image below, or create a silhouette with other ambient sources of light, like traffic and surrounding buildings. This is to avoid photos look overexposed.



12. Set your camera app's exposure manually​

It's best to adjust by hand .To change your mobile camera's exposure by hand, open your camera app and tap the screen. When you see the lens refocus, you'll see a very small sun icon and a vertical scale. Slowly swipe your finger up and down this scale to adjust the light level.
