How to take and share great photos on your smartphone

Shoot like a pro

We are all photographers, and with the camera on your smartphone you can take really great pictures. Follow these simple tips and you will soon be taking even better photos to impress your friends and family.

• Dare to get close to your subject.
• Decide what you need to include in the picture, rather than trying to fit everything in.
• On some phones, the photo is not taken until you lift your finger off the shutter button.
• Hold the camera steady, especially when you take photos indoors without the flash. Leaning against a doorframe or a chair helps.
• Take photos outdoors when you can, so they get natural light.
• When you take a portrait, make sure the background does not steal attention from your subject.
• Do not be afraid to take lots of photos. Your phone has plenty of space, and you can always delete the ones you do not need later.

Share your pictures

One of the very best things about a smartphone is that you can share great moments as soon as they happen. Take a picture and send it straight to friends and family by MMS (picture message), email or social media. It is the perfect way to send greetings while you are travelling.

You can also print your photos, or order a printed photo book to look back on your holiday.
