We all do it on a daily basis. We aim our iPhones at our loved ones and click. How difficult can it be to make photos of our family, especially with a tool like the smartphone?

In this video, he demonstrates how to take better photos of your family and friends with your smartphone camera:

Here are Hollingsworth’s 10 tips to simplify and improve your smartphone photography:

5. Balance Crop and Context

Your expertise does, however, come into play when you make your composition. It’s going to be a delicate balancing act between how much you should crop against how much space, if any, you need to keep in order to show context in your photos.

8. Clean Your Lens

The tiny lens on your phone is susceptible to dust and dirt. Use a microfiber lens cloth to clean it before taking photos.

9. Swipe Up for Quick Access

Swipe up from the lock screen to get quick access to your camera in order to get those in-between moments.

10. Back Up Your Images

Always make it a point to store your images on iCloud or download them to an external hard drive so you don’t lose them if you lose your phone.
