A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Small sensor needs a lot of light. Inside will be muddy unless you’re near an external window or you’re using flash or additional light, so choosing where you shoot is smart.
The phone is also super light weight so you may have a bit of movement when taking the shot, which will cause the sharpness to take a hit. Learn to shoot with two hands and your elbows into your stomach to keep you steady. Alternatively get a tripod, a gorilla pod, a small bean bag (these are great since they fit anywhere and you will mold to whatever you’re placing it on).
Use long exposure settings when needed.
The Apple Photos editing software is fine, just don’t over saturate.
Use the grid. Read up on photography “rules.”
Pick up rechargeable led light from Amazon. Use it to illuminate your subject when in low light. One that does multiple colors is fun for some interesting creative shots.
Keep the lenses clean or oils and finger prints.
If you can find a Bluetooth shutter remote, grab it. It’ll help reduce phone movement and it comes in clutch with tripods or similar. They’re super cheap.
Do you have an example product you can link to, and any photos you've taken when using one of these lights before?
Hopefully it works. I tried before but it was short links and was removed.
One is the fun colorful one, the other is good for adding additional light while not messing up your desired white balance.
My shots are all natural but I do use a colorful light to add color to my wall for my Skype meetings or when I’m recording a video. You can do most of what you can do with that multicolored light in post, but if you’re trying to shoot straight out of camera it comes in handy.
