Checklist
Clean the lens and set the frame
Start with a clean lens, tidy background, and consistent light where possible. Enable grid and level to help alignment and composition, then choose the aspect ratio for the publishing destination before shooting.
Execution Steps
Control focus and exposure
The iPhone camera lets you move focus by tapping, adjust exposure, and lock AE/AF when needed. On other phones, use the equivalent controls and review on a second screen instead of trusting a bright phone display alone.
Expert Tips
Stability beats digital zoom
Stabilize the phone on a tripod or surface, use a timer or remote release, and move closer rather than relying on excessive digital zoom. Leave modest crop room for different formats without cutting the product or text.
Approved Section
Use available light deliberately
Window light can be a strong starting point, with a simple reflector reducing shadows. Avoid mixing light sources with different colors and watch for blown highlights that have lost detail.
Approved Section
Do not turn filters into a brand system
Apply light, repeatable correction for brightness, contrast, and color, keeping the original. Strong changing filters make products and people inconsistent and harder to combine on one page.
