Your iPhone can be one of the most powerful cameras in the world when used correctly. However, it can be difficult to get the right picture composition. We explain how to maximise your iPhone for best photos and what settings to use on your camera.

Use HDR mode
Use portrait mode
Keep your lens clean and camera clean
Shoot In The HDR Mode
If you want to take photos in low light or bright lighting, use the HDR mode. This mode takes multiple photos at different exposures and combines them into one photo. It's also great for taking photos of people and objects that are backlit.
Use Portrait Mode
The iPhone camera app has a Portrait mode that allows you to take portrait photos with an extremely shallow depth of field. This means that the background will be blurred and the foreground subject will be in focus, as opposed to a standard photo where both foreground and background appear sharp.This effect is useful when taking pictures of your food or drinks that are close up to the camera lens – it's also good for capturing foods which tends to have strong colours and textures. To get started with portrait mode on your iPhone:
Open up the Camera app in iOS 13 (or earlier versions).
Swipe across until you find Portrait Mode; this may be hidden under "Advanced" on older versions of iOS 13.
Make sure there’s plenty of light around so that your image doesn't come out too dark or grainy because there isn't enough light hitting your camera sensor.
Keep Your Lens Clean
This is the most important thing to do if you want to get the best photos from your iPhone. The first thing to do is have a cleaning cloth handy, and use this every time you take a photo. Don’t use your shirt or hand—you might leave oil on it that will affect your images’ quality. And don’t use any cleaning solution on it either; just dust off any dirt with the lens cloth, then wipe down with a dry part of the cloth before taking more pictures.
Focus And Brightness Is Essential
Focus is important to make sure your subject is sharp, and to avoid blurring. The iPhone X and higher has a great camera that allows you to adjust the focus after you've taken the picture. You also need good lighting for great photos. If it's too dark, the camera will struggle to take a clear picture and if it's too bright then you might end up with an overexposed shot or one that makes your subject look washed out (i.e., white).
Lighting Can Be Make Or Break
Lighting can everything. The right lighting can make a photo look amazing, while the wrong lighting can ruin it. Lighting is the most important aspect of any photo you take and one of the first things that people check when they look at a picture on your phone or computer. Light helps create contrast between different areas of an image and highlights certain areas better than others, giving it depth and dimensionality. If possible, try to use natural light from windows in your venue as it offers even illumination across large areas (such as walls) with minimal shadows. You can also use diffused light from lamps or ceiling fixtures which will produce softer shadows but still keep off direct sunlight (which often creates harsh shadows).
In summary
The main takeaway from this article should be that lighting is almost everything. If you want to improve the quality of your pictures then get yourself into some natural or artificial light and make sure there isn't too much contrast between foreground and background.
