Taking photos is a little like playing golf. An amateur can luck into a great tee shot, or snap a brilliant shot. Being consistent is a different story. You have to practice and, in photography, that means taking lots of photos in different scenarios. No two photos are alike, after all, because your subject — whether it’s food, the stars, buildings or friends — and your environment will constantly change; for each, you’ll need to refactor variables like light and composition.
It’s complicated, admittedly, and you’ll need more than just your smartphone for the job (despite what marketing campaigns say). Read on to find the best how-to’s and gear guides to get you started.
