Tip #1: Search for the light
Lighting is your best friend! If you're taking pictures outdoors, then early morning, late afternoon and overcast lighting act as the best natural filters so you don't have to over edit.

Tip #2: Food pics or it didn't happen
Capturing that perfect dish or drink goes hand in hand with travelling these days. Find a pop of colour to focus on and make your delectable pictures come to life. If you didn't post it, did you even eat it?

Tip #3: Let your camera do the magic
These days, smart phone cameras are so impressive they compete with some of the best cameras in the world - if you know how to use them. Learn how to maximize your phone's fancy features by playing around with its many camera capabilities and practice using different lighting.

Tip #4: Three's the magic number
Turn the grid function on your phone's camera and use the rule of thirds. When you place your photo's focal point along one of the four points that intersect on the grid, the off-centre placement is more pleasing to the eye.

Tip #5: Let's get personal
Classic panorama shots are pretty, but they don't tell the whole story. Incorporating yourself into the shot makes the moment much more impactful. If you're showing off the beach, include your feet in the sand or include your hand sampling that great meal or savouring a delicious tropical drink.
