What this is

Travel Photography on a Phone shows you how to get far better pictures from the camera you already carry. You learn how your phone camera actually works, how to read light, how to compose strong frames, how to photograph places, food and people respectfully, and how to edit and organise your images afterwards.

Every lesson ends with a short shooting exercise you can do at home, on a walk or on your next trip. No extra equipment is required, and the techniques work on any recent iPhone or Android phone.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand focus, exposure and lenses on your phone
  • Read light and choose the best time to shoot
  • Compose balanced, interesting frames
  • Photograph landscapes, streets, food and details
  • Photograph people respectfully and naturally
