For this purpose, you can either use the screen of another phone or simply place a mirror under your phone camera’s lens. Just make sure to align your camera and the mirror in a way, that you can capture the full reflection of the subject. And if you happen to be using the Samsung Galaxy M21, then its 48 MP rear camera with a 123° ultra-wide-angle shooter will help you click the perfect shot!

Now who isn’t a fan of pictures that look like straight out of a dream? But to create a haze you need the right instruments. Just joking! Pick that transparent plastic wrapper lying around, and partially eclipse your camera lens to create a white smoky effect around your subject. Which reminds me, the Samsung Galaxy M21’s camera comes with a 5MP depth sensor, that’ll make sure you get detailed and well-metered shots in daylight.

Shadows can really breathe life into you pictures, if you use them correctly. For this technique, you just have to make sure there is absolute darkness and the only light in the room is of your camera’s flash, which needs to be efficient. Just like Samsung Galaxy M21, that really impresses you with its LED flash, illuminating the subject like a diamond.

Sunsets are so beautiful. So it’d be simply nice if we could capture the deep red skies in its full glory. Just switch your white balance setting to cloudy. This will immediately add more warmth to your photos and accentuate those stunning sunsets.

Macro photography produces some of the coolest images. And normally it requires a special lens for a shallow depth of field with great clarity. Don’t worry! Just put a water droplet on the lens of your phone instead. A single droplet won’t run off and is a great replacement for a macro lens. And like we mentioned earlier, Samsung Galaxy M21’s camera is equipped with a 5MP depth sensor, which will enable high magnification.
