How to Get Creative with Mobile Phone Photography?

Labels: , 0 comments

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?

Why Mobile Phone Photography is on the Rise?

Labels: 0 comments
Once the camera in a mobile phone was considered an anomaly, rather than a rule. But, now the situation has reversed. You can't think of a mobile phone without a lense somewhere on it. If you are in doubt, visit any tourist spot and you will see people taking photos and the funny part, the mobile phone camera beats conventional cameras in numbers. 


The craze of mobile phone photography has started with the release of the Nokia 7610 with a 1 MP camera. Mobile phone cameras have come a long way and now flagship mobile phones have started to bridge the gap of snap quality with their digital cameras counterparts. 



Since the mobile phone camera is always available, therefore, its owner's photographic brain is always in the "switched on" state to never miss a shooting opportunity. This easy availability to shoot an important moment and ease of sharing on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat have certainly fueled the passion. People love getting likes and comments about their snaps and videos and this has made mobile phone photography a really vibrant genre of its own, with its enthusiast followers getting bigger and bigger day by day.
