Be Playful with Lighting
Lights and shadows have the power to draw focus or add interesting effects to your subject. Use backlit shots to highlight the silhouette of your subject, or experiment with shutter speeds to form mesmerising light trails. Tips: longer shutter speeds will give you longer light trails.
1. Zoom into your subject till you get your desired framing.
2. Tap where you want the camera to focus on. You can take a picture right away, or...
3. Hold for a second to auto-lock the focus, so you can snap more pictures with that focal distance.

Get Real Close
The veins of a flower, carvings on furniture, or even the droplets on your cup – Zoom in and find mesmerising details within everyday things. Try placing your subject in sunlight or under a torchlight to see what features stand out.

Simulate the City
Challenge yourself by creating “street photography” within the boundaries of your own home. Put on your best OOTD styles and hunt for spots that will make you look like you’re outdoors. Slivers of sunlight or walls with gritty textures can give you the feeling of city streets, so go ahead and explore.
Take Out the Laundry
Want an out-of-this-world perspective in the comfort of your home? Take a shot from within your washing machine! It could look like a mysterious spaceship hatch, or spin the inner drum around to capture amazing motion blurs.
