Smartphone Photography Tips, IG/FB Live with Dot Lung

My friend Dot Lung asked me to go live with her and talk about smartphone photography tips and how to take better photos with your phone. We both use iPhones, but all we talked about applies to Android as well. We did not talk about specific apps only available for one platform but actually discussed real examples of taking photos with a phone.

Dot Lung is a fantastic Digital Media Strategist who always marketed herself as the Mother of Social Media Dragons. A reference to Game Of Thrones, of course, but also to Dragons' Den, as she helps many startups and smaller creators grow on social media.

I photograph with my iPhone a lot. You may remember from a previous post that I shot with only an iPhone for about four years before buying my first Fujifilm camera. At that time, I also used the iPhone for professional shooting. The lenses on these devices have improved over the years, so this can certainly be a viable option — maybe paired with a few accessories, even cheap ones.

We talked for about an hour and covered many different topics. So, if you're looking for good real-life smartphone photography tips, this is worth your time!
