Using a phone camera is great! You don’t have to worry about camera settings, you can edit your images without transferring them externally and you can immediately load or post your image right from your phone to your social media accounts.

If you follow me on Instagram (or if you’ve checked out my gallery) then you’ll know I am a big fan of flat laid images (if you haven’t and are new to this blog then go have a squiz and then find out what a flat lay is here). I love how easy it is […]
