The best part about this picture-taking tip is you can execute it by yourself. For the best outfit pics, use the .5 wide angle option on the iPhone’s back camera. Place your phone down low (can touch the ground), making sure you’re in-frame with some test shots. You will need to put the timer on, try 3-5 sec. Once you've found the best perspective, pose by kicking a leg out towards the camera, reach your hand toward it, or lean down to look at the camera lens. Capturing with the wide angle setting adds a level of distortion to your pics for added personality.

Photo composition is how a photographer arranges visual elements within their frame. “It's a pleasing organization of objects within your rectangle.

Understanding Rule of thirds

The rule of thirds is a composition guideline that divides an image into nine equal parts to help create a well-balanced and visually interesting image. 

• Divide the image into nine equal parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines 
• Place the subject in the left or right third of the image 
• Place important elements along the lines or at their intersections 

Why it works 

• Helps balance the subject with negative space
• Draws the viewer's eye to the main focal point
• Creates more tension, energy, and interest

How to use it

• Most cameras and phones have a rule of thirds setting 
• In landscape photography, the horizon line is often placed on a thirds line 

Example of Rule of Thirds
