Before the rise of smartphones, taking a picture may be a difficult task especially to those with businesses. You'd have to get an expensive camera and editing software for your desktop computer, as well as devote a significant amount of time and effort to learn how to use them. Thanks to our smartphones, we now can capture high-quality images and edit them effortlessly. There are a few additional tools and accessories that substantially enhance your images. Here's how to take and produce stunning pictures like a professional with only your phone for your business. 

Get a good lighting for your shot
First and foremost, good lighting plays the biggest role in producing the best pictures. Due to their small sensors, only a few smartphones can generate outstanding indoor images. Hence, for the best effects, shoot images outside in the ideal lighting circumstances. Lighting affects not only the luminance of a photograph, but also the mood, tone, and atmosphere. 

When shooting outside, choose a time of day when the light is mellow, such as early morning or evening. This creates a soft, even light with pleasing tones. If you must photograph in direct sunlight, attempt to do so in the shade or angling your subject with the sun in your shot. 

Choose the best smartphone for the job
In today's world, most smartphone cameras are excellent DSLR substitutes for business photography. The quality of your product images will get even better with smartphones that have a higher megapixel count Any smartphone with a great camera can be used, however a recent model with a 12 megapixel camera or more is preferable. An iPhone can be one of the good options and it is fully capable of capturing amazing product photographs without needing any additional lenses or settings. 

Use gridlines to guide
While artistically framing images may necessitate a more creative mindset, that doesn't imply you have to do everything yourself. Fortunately, you may use your phone's camera to guide you in composing and framing your photographs. One of the quickest and most efficient ways to improve your smartphone photographs is to use the built-in camera's grid lines and make use of the "rule of thirds". 

The rule of thirds is a compositional technique whereby an image is partitioned both horizontally and vertically equally into thirds. The image's subject is positioned at the junction of those dividing lines.  Your shot will be more symmetrical and viewers will be able to engage with it more organically if you place points of interest in these intersections or along the lines.

Use backdrops
To give your shots a neat and uniform look, position a white backdrop behind your goods to prevent distractions  Try using  a white large paper or get any inexpensive poster board from any art supply store. Folding tables are convenient to be used to set up your backdrop on. Get a scotch tape to secure your backdrop or to adhere your product to it. If you don't have Scotch tape, sticky tack is a wonderful alternative. 

Keep in mind to always maintain a white backdrop at all times. A white backdrop mirrors natural light onto the subject, resulting in a photograph that is evenly lighted. Keep in mind to always maintain a white backdrop at all times. It also helps the editing process more efficiently if you need to eliminate the background. You could also attempt to place your backdrop behind and underneath your product.

Avoid zooming digitally 
Because digital zoom diminishes the image's resolution, it almost always provides unsatisfactory results. One of the most basic photography tips for capturing better images is to avoid it. Optical zooms, on the other hand, are fine because they do not degrade the image quality, and they are becoming increasingly widespread on smartphones. 

Unlike optical zoom, which is found on full-fledged cameras, digital zoom photos are essentially cropped and resized photographs. Digital zoom will not only produce grainy images, but it will also diminish the general resolution of the photo and amplify any vibrations from your hands, resulting in a poor portrayal of your products.
