Tips:
  • Find reflections in your surroundings, using reflections can create an entirely new dynamic to your images. Get creative and use puddles, building/car windows or any reflective surface. Turn/flip your phone so the camera lens is closest to the reflective surface – this will create the largest reflection.
  • Use the side buttons on iPhone to take a photo, this will give you a firm/safe grip on your phone while using it with one hand.
  • Shoot in different weather conditions. Whether it be rain, snow, sunset, or sunrise, shooting during these times will make your images really stand out.

Tips:
  • In the iPhone camera app manually adjust exposure by tapping the screen and sliding up or down.  This helps find the ideal brightness to best preserve the scene’s details and colours.
  • Weather conditions can have a dramatic effect on creating the mood of a city scene.  Monitor the forecasts and be open to going on spontaneous shoots when the conditions are just right.

Tips:
  • When photographing buildings, keep your phone level to the horizon so that the buildings remain straight in your photos.
  • When photographing movement, burst mode is really useful in capturing the perfect moment.

How to Create Realistic Shadows for Product Photography in Photoshop

Image
If you’ve ever used Adobe Photoshop’s built-in Layer Styles tool as-is for creating drop shadows, you may have found it lacking in realism. Here’s a better way to add shadows to your product photography. A lot of the time I use Layer Styles for quick and dirty Photoshop jobs that are more about conveying the sense of depth or texture rather than really making it look lifelike when viewed close up. That’s where  Tony Roslund ’s quick tip comes in (with a hat tip to Aaron Nace from Phlearn). As a professional product photographer, he needs those high-quality shadows for his clients that can usually only be achieved by taking some extra steps. Rather than going to the Layer Styles route, Roslund shows us how to use multiple duplicate layers to build more complex and lifelike shadows. By stacking shadows, his examples also have all the benefits of being independent layers to mask or further refine. Have you tried creating realistic shadows in Photoshop before? Do you use the La
