How to Get Creative with Mobile Phone Photography?


A mobile phone is not considered as a smartphone unless it has a camera. Big companies like Apple and Samsung boast built-in cameras of their flagship devices as soon as the mobile phone is launched. Taking a picture is the basic task of a mobile phone camera but we can put it to some other creative uses too.


  1. Take a snapshot of your daily life, like, snap of breakfast or a funny moment while playing with your baby.
  2. Use it as mirror, when in need.
  3. You are in a party, flex your photography muscles and shoot some memorable shots.
  4. If you have pet, take some snapshot and share it on social media.
  5. Declare photography as your hobby and go outdoors. Test your creative side to the extreme.
  6. Connect through social media platforms with other people by sharing your snaps. This will satisfy your social urges/needs.
  7. Occasionally, it is easier to take a picture and send it rather than explaining to someone.
  8. You have to sign back the document and time is running out. Relax sign the document, take a picture and send it. 
  9. Some teachers allow their students to take snap of the class whiteboard.
  10. Take pictures of the receipts during shopping and reconcile your expenses with peace of mind.
Do you want to add some more creative uses to the list?

Improve Your Images by Following Composition Rule, "the Middle Line"


Catchy picture, the one everybody adores, appeared riddle to me. I always tried to crack that riddle but it remained elusive to me. Today, I stumbled on the following video, which gave me a hint to that secret. After watching the video share your opinion about "the Middle Line" rule? 


How to Become a Professional Mobile Photographer


I've always wanted to have a camera and shoot like a pro since childhood. This was my dream but somehow it remained a dream till the recent past. You couldn't blame me for that because, in those old days, only professionals had the privilege to carry and operate the camera. Dedicated training was essential to just operate the camera while developing those films was really a nightmare for a novice like me. 
But thanks God, technology has revolutionized every sphere of human activity including the digital camera industry. Mobile phone cameras are in every hand and their operation is so easy that even a child can shoot photos and videos. Sharing photos on popular social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Snapchat have become another impetus to use mobile phone cameras.
So, I fall prey to all these inducements and have made it my new year resolution to master the art of mobile phone photography. I've decided to take admission in a photography course and practice what I learn there on my mobile phone camera. I'll also surf the internet for basic tutorials to boost my knowledge of photography. This is my plan, what you guys suggest, how can I fulfill my dream?
