So let's get started!....

1. Start to take alot of Photos:

      Back in the days when my parents gifted me a smartphone, i used to take random photos, and yeah it was just for fun since i was just a 15 years old, So... i used to watch alot of Net Geo and Discovery Channels and most of my inspiration used to come from there, So... as years started passing, smartphones started evolving alot, and so did my experience in phoneography increased. The difference between a good and average phoneographer often boils down to sheer volume of photos taken. So whenever you go out explore always carry your phone, because you never know when you will find a perfect shot!. So just be creative and click random photos.

2. Learn new Techniques:

      Learning new techniques like, using camera app in manual mode, Messing around with each and every settings, Using editing apps, Investing in equipment like external lens, tripod, and various accessories, Taking different angle shots, Wiping the lens before starting, Using focus peaking, Understanding the environment, Using the grid etc. These steps will surely improve your Phoneography skills, and will make you a better phoneographer then before!.

3. Creating a Social profile to gain Exposure:

      We all know that Social Media is one of them most important elements in today's world, So, Gaining social media exposure will surely get you alot of contracts, but it's a very slow process, you need to 1st learn how to market yourself as a brand!, it all depend on how wisely you use your money to market yourself, and as they say you can't gain if you don't invest. So creating a profile on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr any various more social media platforms will certainly help you, provided you will have to manage your profile like a professional, or you might as well hire a professional social media profile manager for that, and obviously, you have to work hard on getting mind blowing photos.

4. Participating in Photography Contests:

      There are alot of Photography contests out there, Mostly it is held by the camera manufacturers, now sometimes the smartphone manufacturers do put up photography contests, The contest which i personally prefer is Agora images, you can check them out https://agoraimages.com/ So, they are very special because they have various categories of contests, so each contest you can win upto 100$ or more, I extremely recommend this platform to you guys, since not many people know about this, it can be a game changer for you, I wish you good luck if you are going for it.

5. Click with Camera frame 16:9 or Full screen):

      Shooting photos in this aspect ratio will help you to make awesome wallpapers, all you need to do is make the ratio size to Full screen/16:9. The special benefit is that your photo can be used as wallpapers, you can sell it to smartphone companies or wallpaper companies, like this you will earn alot and gain good amount of exposure, which then ultimately will bring you contracts. But, this is a very slow process, you need lots of patience, self esteem, and faith, since they get alot of e-mails they can't view everyone's mails, and always send your best work, other they might put you in the blacklist!.

      Always remember, it's all about patience, so be patient and work smart! and i'm sure you will be successful, So that's all of today guy's, I hope this will help you, and as usual, comment, and like! If you have any questions then do ask me. Have a great day!
