As a dad who only ever has his phone on hand, I wanted to stop taking flat, lifeless snapshots of my kids. The lessons on positioning your subject near a window for soft natural light made an immediate difference. I also finally understand how to use portrait mode without that fake-looking blur around the hair. Photographing toddlers who never sit still is still a challenge, and I wished there was a bit more on catching fast movement. That said, my family photos look genuinely beautiful now and I keep going back to the composition tips.

Dankzij de tips over licht en de portretstand maak ik nu prachtige foto's van mijn kinderen met gewoon mijn iPhone.
