Hello everyone I am back here again. This time with some more tips & tricks to up your mobile photography game. Making aesthetic photos & telling a story through them is the key to make your photography interesting and eye catching.
World’s best camera is the one you have with you right now. That's Your smartphone in short. We are aware that the smartphones have their own limitations compared to DSLRs. But photography isn’t about giving excuses. You just have to get the job done with whatever equipment you have in your hands.
The most common problem we face while photographing with a smartphone is “Focusing issue” due to technical constraints. But we can deal with it by using the manual focusing as almost all smartphones support controlling shutter speed, focusing in pro mode, but that becomes difficult in some cases too.
Sometimes keeping elements out of focus creates great interest in your photo.
This kind of photography is called Bokeh photography. It's a very popular concept & very easy to do with your smartphone.
Here are some examples of Bokeh Photography.

Adding Intentional Blur
Introducing blur by shaking your mobile camera while taking photographs is also a great way of creating abstract looking images. It is called as intentional blur.
This can be achieved in two ways..
1) If you are shooting in Auto mode or your smartphone does not have pro camera mode, try doing this in low light. For example, while taking evening shots or while photographing at night.

2) If you are shooting in manual or pro mode, shoot with a slow shutter, in that case to get proper exposure compensate it with your ISO & Aperture (if Available).
