The one thing to do with your iPhone to get that Insta-perfect photo

Photography obsessed?

If you're of the opinion that you need hi-tech, expensive equipment to take amazing photos, you'll be glad to know that your iPhone is more than capable of doing this job on its own. If you're sceptical of the above, we understand because it sounds surprising but it's all down to how you use the phone. At last year's iPhone Photography Awards, Insider was there to get the scoop on how to nail that perfect shot. A number of tips were shared but the one that stands out for us is to always "adjust the exposure".

If you're anything like us, you just point and take the photo without thinking too much about it but this isn't enough for a truly stunning snap. Try to get out of the habit of just using auto mode and remember to play around with the exposure before taking a photo and you should notice a difference. Another really useful tip is to use the 'grid lines', which can be found under Phone & Camera in your iPhone's settings. Turning this on will help you to line up the perfect straight shot. You'll be an Insta-pro before long...
