Essential Smartphone Street Photography Tips

1. Use Apps for more control over your phone’s camera

There are several applications available for smartphone photography. The applications to look at here are those that will be required to capture the photograph. There are more applications you should download, which you will learn about later in the tutorial.

In terms of smartphone cameras, camera+ is the finest option. It gives you additional control over your camera by providing a number of choices.

Locked Exposure

This is a fantastic choice that provides you some control over the degree of exposure. Because you can’t manually alter the shutter speed or aperture, exposure lock is the closest you’ll get. You may use this ability to acquire an exposure lock on a bright subject by directing your phone at the sky. With that exposure setting locked in, you may photograph individuals in the market who are illuminated by a shard of sunshine. In addition, the backdrop will remain dark.

Locking the focus

Many street photographers choose to pre-focus their images. Because the camera does not need to locate a focal point, this enables for speedy capturing of fleeting moments. A focus lock two to three metres ahead of you will yield some great outcomes.

Shutter Release

You may change the shutter speed on the camera. This is used for things like stabiliser release. This option ensures that the shot will only be captured if the camera is completely still. It’s a valuable feature for low-light situations where the shutter speed must be slow. You may discover that employing this function makes you more noticeable. You’ll have to wait for your camera to stabilise. However, it enables you to picture in those melancholy low-light marketplaces.
