Excellent article! I love this idea for a project for my students. This is a great project for when we study still life photography. The article states that artifacts are great items to use to tell one's story, to connect people, to capture moments, and to reflect changes.

I have a group of students. They are between 14 and 19 years old, and something interesting about them is that almost all of them are interested in photography. I think that this type of courses are solutions for them to keep practicing English while doing a hobby they really enjoy. I share this for all the other English teachers that have students similar to mine.

I like this article because it's another example of how cell phone photography is moving closer to producing DSLR quality pictures. A lot of the tricks are basics that are learned when studying the art, however in classes it gets much more indepth

Samantha Sicard's curator insight, October 11, 2021 2:27 PM
Not all photographers are going to have a fancy, expensive camera with them everywhere they go. However, they will have their cellphone with them at all times. I think it is extremely beneficial for anyone who enjoys taking photos to learn how to properly use your phone camera. It is a perfectly casual way to capture moments of your day, and with these tips and tricks, you are sure to see improvements in your photos.

This iPhone Camera Tips & Tricks Video Aims To Improve Your Shooting Skills

This iPhone Camera Tips & Tricks Video Aims To Improve Your Shooting Skills | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
The iPhone camera is the most popular camera on the planet as of now, and it’s not just something that cannot be backed up by facts; Flickr statistics clearly support this notion. It makes sense, too - when the original iPhone was launched back in 2007, the image quality was far superior to the competition despite being a fixed-focus, measly 2 megapixel shooter. Now we’re close to the iPhone 6’s launch, and the current flagship, the iPhone 5s, has a camera that’s come a long way since. It produces really good images, and it’s always with you in your pocket, making it camera of choice.
