We bring you the tips for brilliant iPhone 7 photography:
• To use the new Portrait mode on your iPhone, launch the camera and select Portrait.
• Portrait mode guides you in real-time with a live preview of the depth effect, including how to best distance the camera from the subject.
• The further your subject is from your background, the more pronounced the blur effect will be.
• Shoot against a non-solid background to get the most out of the depth effect.
• Pay attention to the guide in Portrait mode that tells you if you need more light in the shot.
• If shooting more than one person, make sure to keep in the same plane so the subjects stay sharp.
• Try to have little ones stand still when taking your photo.
• Set a timer for 3s or 10s so the photographer can get into the shot, or ask a friend/neighbour to help out
