📸 iPhone Portrait Photography Tips
I captured images of Mong ethnic girls in Ha Giang, braving the cold with their innocent eyes and natural beauty.
Taking portrait shots in harsh winter conditions with an iPhone may seem challenging, but you can create emotional and impactful images with the proper techniques.
Essential Tips for iPhone Portrait Photography:
1️⃣ . Use Natural Light. Overcast weather provides soft, diffused lighting, which adds depth and atmosphere to your shots.
2️⃣ Portrait Mode & Manual Focus – Use Portrait Mode for a blurred background effect and adjust focus manually for sharp details.
3️⃣ Composition & Angles – Experiment with creative angles and a well-balanced background to tell a compelling visual story.
4️⃣ Editing in Lightroom Mobile – Adjust brightness, contrast, and colors to enhance the mood of your image. I often use selective adjustments to highlight the subject while keeping the background natural.
