What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Smartphone tripod and mount
RequiredA flexible mini-tripod with a universal phone mount lets you stabilize your shots, experiment with long exposures, and free your hands for better composition without spending much.
Clip-on lens kit for smartphones
RequiredA set of clip-on lenses (wide angle, macro, fisheye) transforms your phone camera and lets you explore dramatically different perspectives and close-up shots without a dedicated camera.
Glossy photo paper (4x6)
Printing your best shots on glossy photo paper makes them feel real and portfolio-ready. A pack of 4x6 sheets works with most home printers and is a great way to curate your final series.
