Photos of your business with your phone: how to get them right
People who find you on Google or on your website look at the photos before they read anything. Dark, crooked or blurry photos make even a well-kept business look neglected. You do not need a photographer to start: with your phone and a few habits you can have clean photos today.
In short
Turn the flash off
The phone flash flattens everything and creates glare. Real light looks better.
Stand near a window
Daylight from the side or behind you is the nicest light, and it is free. Avoid direct midday sun.
Clean the lens
One wipe with your T-shirt. Fingerprints are the number one cause of foggy photos.
Hold the phone straight
Turn on the camera grid and line it up with walls and doors. Hold it at chest height, not from above.
Step closer instead of zooming
Digital zoom makes photos grainy. Take two steps forward.
