The shallow depth of field skilfully isolates the subjects and eliminates distractions in the background
Exposing a scene perfectly in less-than-ideal lighting conditions can be a challenge even when you are working with modern DSLR or mirrorless camera systems. Of course, poor lighting is also one of the biggest challenges to overcome in smartphone photography but the problems are exacerbated by the camera’s smaller sensor. That means it captures less light, which affects image quality. To get the best results with a smartphone in low light conditions, use an app such as ProShot that offers DSLR-like exposure control to exploit the phone’s technical possibilities.
