A tech carry case
You’ll never have to worry about losing things. Store everything from your phone, lens, tripod, cables and headphones etc all in one place.
A selfie kit
Take the ultimate selfie by using a foldable selfie scope that extends further than your arm.
A travellers mini tripod
Portable, lightweight and sturdy. Just pop out your smartphone in the tripod wherever you are and start snapping. Now you’ll never have to rely on strangers to take your cute couple or group shots.
Portable power adaptor
The perfect accessory to keep your phone charged and going in times of need.
The rule of thirds
If you’re looking at upping your game, the rule of thirds works a charm. Just imagine nine equal parts to your pic. Once the grid is activated, the theory is, if you place your point of interest between the intersection or along the lines your pic will become more balanced and show more depth. Composition is everything and most often, the more off-center you are, the better the shot.

Lighting is everything
Take it from phone photography experts, Typo. The trick to a sweet pic is in fact excellent lighting. Avoid overly sunny faces, and instead look for soft-lighting outdoors by moving to a shaded area.
Keep it simple
Ah yes, sounds easy right? Be mindful of the mood and emotion you’re creating through your shot. We think the trick to nailing a photo is in its pure simplicity. Minimalistic shots have a way of capturing a powerful shot.
