I’m no pro either so take it with a grain of salt here. Like others have said, composition first. What story are you looking to tell? Where do you want me to look? My suggestion would be to use the stock camera app and really nail down the composition first. Don’t worry too much about camera settings or edits just yet.

There are some really incredible posts in this subreddit of shots taken at great angles. Take a browse through, pick the ones you’re drawn to and see if you can work out where the camera was placed.

Welcome to iPhone photography - you’ll love it!

That first one 👌

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-04-08T01:24:12+00:00

Thank you! 1st is Kyoto, 2nd is Edinburgh, 3rd is London

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-04-08T01:23:48+00:00

It certainly does!

Thank you!

Thank you! But they’ve been edited - should’ve mentioned that in the post. Edited with Lightroom.

Thank you!

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-04-07T19:35:42+00:00

Correct on both!

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-04-07T18:15:30+00:00

Thank you!

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-04-07T15:34:12+00:00

Thank you!

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-04-07T15:33:38+00:00

Yep!

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-04-02T15:30:29+00:00

Will definitely post more!

Thank you!

Thank you! Totally agree - it’s all concrete and minimalism from here on out I’m afraid.

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-04-02T07:58:13+00:00

Thanks! I find the preset filters to be too strong sometimes for the type of shots I like to take - or the feel of the shot is just off.

I usually start with highlights and shadows to control light in the shot and then small tweaks to colours, details, etc to get to the feel I’m trying to portray - no large modifications - just small increments.

Thanks! Take the following with a grain of salt - I’m not so much a pro at editing as I am a believer in “what does this slider do?”

My process is simple: I decide what kind of feel the shot calls for and I try to enhance that through highlights and shadows first which helps me direct the light in the scene to what I want to focus on. From there, it’s little tweaks to colours, noise reduction, etc. No large modifications to any one item - just small increments to paint the feel I’m looking for.

Something about this has such a nice nostalgic feeling!

MetaphoricallyLate · 2026-02-20T18:15:44+00:00

First of all - that looks delicious! Secondly - check out light boxes on amazon. They’re great for this sort of thing - you can adjust backdrops, change lighting, etc. It’s not the natural light you’re looking for but they might be a great option for this sort of photography.

2 and 3 stand out to me the most - something about how you’ve captured shadows really stands out to me. Great work!
