This might come as a shock to most people, but I am a huge supporter of iPhoneography. I take 90% of the photos that end up in my photo album with my phone now, but that doesn't mean that I treat it any differently than a regular camera when it comes to creating the best conditions for a photo.

Here is an example of the difference between a photo taken in direct sunlight vs shade. The first thing most people notice in photos is bags under their eyes. This undesirable feature is greatly reduced in shade since there are no harsh shadows. Also blemishes, texture and squinting all are minimized when you move into shade.

So next time you want to snap a quick pic in the middle of the day, just find the nearest shady spot and take the pic there. You will love the results.

I've spent the past few years being very private about my professional life. What I've realized is that I am a passionate, people person and it's about time I open up and share my passion with others with the story behind my photos, my motivation, even my locations. So off we go. I hope you come back often.
