One Page Of Notes: How to Take Pictures Like a Pro in 5 Easy Steps

  • iPhones can be used to create professional-grade photos
  • have visual focus; part of the photo which you want to emphasize is the sharpest part of the image
  • when taking a portrait, focus on subjects' dominant eye
  • the key to great pictures is the eyes
  • the purpose of a fast shutter speed is to freeze all motion
  • a tripod will help eliminate the blur from camera shake, so that any blur comes from the motion itself
  • take your time
  • as a photographer, you are the director and can dictate what your subjects do.
  • flash is a cut-rate lighting method with a short range of effectiveness. 
  • try using a high ISO and low aperture when using flash as filler for pictures in low light
  • in darkly lit areas, turn on as many lights as possible and be mindful of shadows
  • it is in your best interest to shoot for obtaining perfect exposure
  • the time you put in will save you time in post-production
  • take your camera everywhere because practice will only make you better
