iPhotoShoot

So I know not everyone has a spare camera sitting around there house, and even if we do- sometimes we just never think to carry it around everywhere. Almost everyone has a camera phone these days (the most popular being the iPhone) so I decided to show my favorite tips for a camera phone photo shoot for when you don't have another camera to use. I have done these shoots many times and it is a tad trickier but in the end the pictures turn out great and sometimes you might find one at a surprise angle that you really enjoy. For iPhone pictures I suggest the Camera Plus app. This app has a timer that goes up to 30 seconds and it has some pretty neat editing options!

Tips: 

Jumping in Pictures with Friends-  For these pictures, I suggest setting a timer for as long as possible and having your friends already in position. Set the timer and then run over next to them- Here are some of my favorites:

I used a small bench to take this picture, simple look around and there's always something to use as a phone holder.

This one was used with a backpack, it adds to the picture due to the fact it is so low on the ground.

Making Your Phone Stand Up- Sometimes your phone will fall or there won't be a good place to put it for the picture. One time as I was running back to get in position the phone fell and even though I got a weird angle, it turned out fantastic! 

(Here is a neat example!)

How to Make More Time to Jump in the Picture- Having trouble trying to get in a position in under 15 seconds? Set the phone on video and when you are finished, go back to the video and screenshot your favorite moments. I did that with the picture below :)

The picture above was taken last fall with Natalie and S. I barely made it up the tree in 15 seconds but the picture turned out very well!

Natalie and I found an overhanging tree branch and we set my phone on the branch to achieve this picture. It's my new favorite picture!

Hope these tips help, enjoy your weekend!
