Composition and editing is really the 2 main things you need to succeed as a smartphone photographer. If you get these 2 right, you might be able to surpass your DSLR friends

Today will be the first day of my car photography journey! Thank you for all the tips. Much appreciated

[chadnewton]

Unreal. Crazy how good phone cameras are theses days 😂😂 looking forward to the Lightroom mobile video!

I would love if you talk about what focal-length will create what type of look or which focal-length is better than the other.
What angle or crop shots (close-ups) would make a car look more present and aesthetic if we were to shoot a aggressive looking car or a curvy shaped design, maybe a classic. Because these must have effects on the whole dynamic and the shape of the car. I wanna know more about that.

You are really changing my perspective of shooting on mobile, I've been trying to find excuses on to buy an expensive camera rig just for a hobby but as the saying goes it's who's behind the camera not the gear

[Htm]

I literally just searched for this yesterday!

[carlosxramirez]

Yeee! Good shit for those who have yet to get a DSLR and those who don’t know about composition in general 🤙🏼

[yashrides]

If you would make a video on how to make our own presets with appropriate color grading according to the scene which compliments the car, that would be awesome.
Thanks

Could you maybe in a video explain the settings that are best in different scenes on a dslr. For example night outdoor, indoor, low light, morning, evening and so on. I’m having a hard time finding videos explaining what settings are best or explaining what they do. Like iso or shutter speed and explains what range would be best in different scenes?

Want to get into car photography. Best beginner cameras to start with ?
Thanks in advance!

Hey I want to purchase the Lightroom v2. I have no access to a computer. Can I just purchase the filter for my Lightroom app on iPhone ?

[PoshDetailing]

Great video Alex! Super helpful tips! Supra sounds

I'm looking for help steadying my iPhone for photos without a tripod.I shake and it usually ruins my focus. When something is available, like a rail or wall I use that but it's not that effective.

Hi there! I’m getting into photography with my Iphone and I’m getting good at it, this video was very helpful! I’ve been practicing alot with composition however I do have one problem that I hope someone could help me with.

I currently own a 2021 Ford Focus ST and I think the front and back LED lights are one of the best features of the car, however when I try to capture these with my phone they usually just become one big round blurry mess. Obviously this takes away from their sharp lines and sporty look, which is something I’d like to capture.

What would you guys recommend as a solution for this? Is there any setting I could use/change for this? Or are these just the limitations of the phone’s camera?
