With phones in every pocket these days, mobile photography has increased more than ever. With powerful tools and software amazing photos can be taken on the go.

The best camera is the one you have with you when the opportunity arises: the tools may be different but the factors that make an image great are the same regardless of the box that captured it.
Tech Soul brings you 5 tips for a better phone photography.
1.Know your device
Understand how mobile phone camera works and know its limitations. Typically these cameras have a limited shutter-speed range and a fixed aperture, so major in-camera exposure adjustments are made by adapting the ISO. There are apps available to help you get around this.
2.Apps
Look for different angles, don't be afraid to get down on the ground or climb a ledge, get closer for details or keep it wide for more context. Use Black&White for noisy or poorly-exposed photographs. Open up your mind and click :)

2.Apps
Take your mobile photographs to a high level by using photography apps. They can help you to overcome the limitaions of your device. Camera+ and Camera Awesome (iOS only) have grid tools, levels, image editing and great controls for exposure and focus.
Slow Shutter can create dreamy long-exposure effects like flowing streams and evening hour light trails, while keeping the high ISO noise to a minimum.
Make sure that you save all the photos before editing, because a loss of your favourite moment would a hurt a lot.

3.Exposure
Exposure affect the photo a lot. Get your exposure right in-camera and then play with it afterwards in editing apps.
Small sensor cameras need light! Use the sun, get in the shade, use a piece of paper to bounce light, wait for the right light, use a flashlight or another mobile phone screen as a light source — make use of your existing knowledge to get the best light. Be patient.

4.Composition is King
- Get level — keep those horizons and verticals in check. (Many camera apps have horizon levels and grids.)
- The rule of thirds — is still the rule. Don’t always centre your subject.
- Use curves and converging lines.
- Use positive and negative space.
- Know your color! Make use of complimentary colors. Use color patterns and shapes to add compositional interest.
- Watch your backgrounds. Poles growing out of people’s heads or lines cutting through them ruin mobile shots just like they ruin any other shots.
- Direct — Don’t wait around for the perfect composition to happen (or settle for what you’ve got). Move things and people. Arrange your frame so that is makes you happy.
- Break the rules! But know why and when to break them.

5.Frames
Use objects in the foreground to frame the main subject and give depth to your shots. Shoot through windows, mirrors, other objects — framing provides context and adds interest.
