Composition & Lighting

We know, we know—you’re tempted to jump all around but before you get too button-happy, here’s a little bit of important advice…Start with Composition & Lighting. These two are the real magic-makers in any photo, no matter what kind of phone you’re using. Learn a few simple tricks here, and everything else—filters, settings, fancy apps—gets way easier (and way more fun).

📐 Composition

Think of composition as how you arrange the pieces of your photo puzzle. It’s not just about what you’re capturing—it’s about how you place it in the frame. Good composition draws the viewer in and helps tell a story, no matter what you're shooting.

💡 Lighting

Lighting is what gives your photo mood, depth, and clarity. Learning to spot great light—whether it’s golden hour sunshine, soft window light, or even dramatic shadows—can completely transform a basic snapshot into something beautiful.
