The Complete iPhone & Android Mobile Photography Course

Master mobile photography with telephoto, wide, and ultra wide lenses for portraits, landscapes, and macro shots, with auto switching at close range and on-screen optical zooms only.

Tap the screen to choose the focus area, making the foreground sharp or the background sharp. Hold to enable the af lock, then tap elsewhere to refocus.

Explore iPhone live photo features and long exposure techniques, including setting key frames, looping and bounds effects, and creating silk-like water motion for engaging photos.

Understand hdr, a high dynamic range technique that blends three photos at different exposures to preserve detail from shadows to highlights and reduce sky overexposure.

Understand hdr stands for high dynamic range, capturing lightest to darkest tones to reveal detail in shadows and highlights. Enable hdr on Android to blend three exposures into one image.

Exposure compensation lets you adjust exposure after tapping to focus, using a slider to brighten or darken the scene without flash.

Explore iPhone photo tools, including flash, adjustable photographic styles with tone and warmth, and timers for selfies. Learn how aspect ratios, exposure, filters, and raw vs jpg affect image quality.

Open the iPhone camera fast from the lock or home screen, with selfie, video, portrait, and portrait selfie options; burst mode lets you capture multiple frames and choose the best shots.

Explore Android photo tools: flash, timer for selfies, aspect ratios 3:4, 4:3, 1:1, 16:9, motion photos, filters, and raw vs jpg; understand post-processing needs and optimal formats.

Learn quick methods to open the camera from the lock or home screen and use burst mode to shoot multiple photos, then select favorites, delete the rest, and save.

Explore portrait mode on iPhone and Android to capture people, textures, and fashion details. Adjust the F-number to control depth of field and focus, selecting foreground or background subjects.

Explore iPhone portrait lighting in this bonus lesson, mastering natural light, Photo Studio Lite, counter light, stage light, and mono effects, adjust intensity with the slider, then shoot and edit.

Explore iPhone macro photography using the ultra wide lens from the iPhone 13 Pro onward, capturing sharp close-up details, textures, and wildlife as the camera automatically switches to macro.

Enable macro in Android settings and shoot at 3 to 5 cm for sharp close-ups of details; if macro mode is unavailable, tap the close-up icon and get close.

Choose panorama on iPhone, press shutter to start, move slowly, then press again to finish; keep device parallel to a wall for straight panoramas, and use a gimbal for stability.

Enable panorama mode on Android, press the shutter once, move toward the arrow, and press again. Keep the phone parallel to a wall for straight panoramas.

Explore night mode on iPhone and Android, activating auto or max exposure to brighten low-light scenes, with tips on keeping still and avoiding blur.

Learn how to master manual photography with the exposure triangle, adjusting aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to control light, depth of field, and image noise on mobile cameras.

Master android pro mode to manually adjust shutter speed and iso, keep aperture auto, understand ev and exposure under/over, and use white balance to fine-tune color temperature.

Use Lightroom to manually control iPhone camera settings, adjusting shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and focus; note aperture cannot be adjusted and RAW (DNG) versus JPG.

Master framing by composing within the frame using horizontal, vertical, or diagonal orientations; learn to exclude distractions and create movement while applying to portraits, landscapes, and videos.

Master the rule of thirds, placing your subject off center at the grid intersections to create balanced, engaging photographs. Enable the three-by-three grid on iPhone or Android to apply it.

Use the rule of thirds to place the horizon, avoid the middle, and choose a high horizon to emphasize the view or a low horizon to highlight the sky.

Apply the rule of thirds to both asymmetrical and symmetrical photos, imagining a line through the grid's middle to guide composition.

Explore how perspective creates depth in photos by connecting the foreground, middle ground, and background, and heighten depth by adding a foreground element with a wide angle lens for landscapes.

Explore how positive space and negative space guide focus, using empty sky and ground to highlight a man and a tree in a minimal landscape.

Fill the frame by getting very close to your subject and using portrait or macro modes to minimize negative space, while macro mode enables ultra close shots.

Frame within the frame teaches using surrounding elements like windows, arches, or plants to frame a subject, even if only top borders or corners are visible, as shown in Venice.

Master camera shot sizes from long to extreme close up. Learn how to frame the subject and environment while avoiding cuts at joints and leaving space.

Explore camera angles by placing the camera at different locations to influence how the viewer perceives the subject. Vary your point of view to boost creativity and experiment with effects.

Learn the bird’s eye view by shooting from a higher vantage and keeping your phone parallel to the ground, using chairs or balconies to frame food or floor tiles.

The high angle restores perspective, adds depth to landscapes by making nearby grass appear larger than distant cliffs, but can exaggerate heads when photographing people.

Master eye level portraits for child subjects by shooting at eye level to avoid distortions, and capture full body portraits from the waist to hip with a straight phone.

Explore the low angle, where closer elements look larger, like the tree’s bottom wider than the top; avoid making feet look huge when photographing people, and try it for landscapes.

Place your mobile from below and look down to minimize distortion in spaces; elevate the background and avoid tourists by using the grid and your eyes on the upper third.

Position yourself parallel to the ceiling to capture a very low angle of the ceilings of churches or theaters, aiming for symmetry by centering on the ceiling lines.

Learn to tell a story with photography by clarifying the message, composing intentionally, cropping distractions, and using light to guide the viewer to the focal subject.

Select your best photos by evaluating purpose, storytelling, lighting, composition, and technical quality to clearly convey the message and engage viewers.

Organize your material by creating albums for landscapes, self portraits, and series, and use the favorites folder. Learn iPhone and Android steps to create albums, add photos, and name them.

Edit photos with the mobile Adobe Lightroom app using free settings and foundational tools, log in, and select an image from your camera roll to practice.

Tap the crop tool to remove unwanted areas, align the horizon with the grid for the rule of thirds, then use the check or cross to apply edits.

Explore the light tool to adjust exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, and blacks for dramatic edits. Learn to brighten dark scenes, reduce overexposure, recover detail, and create a vintage look.

Master the color tool by applying warm and cool colors from the color wheel, and adjust temperature, tint, vibrance, and saturation to keep photos natural.

Tap your photo to see how it looked before and how it looks now, then check your progress to ensure your pictures are improving.

Save edits as presets to apply consistent edits to photos with similar settings and lighting. Create, name, and include edits, then reuse presets for later shots, including black-and-white options.

Save and export edited photos to camera roll or Lightroom file, share via WhatsApp or email, and customize borders, watermarks, and export quality for future edits.
