When the Olympics arrive in 2034, you could be the one capturing stunning portraits of the athletes, making them look like heroes.
What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Mini Tabletop Phone Tripod
RequiredEliminating camera shake is the single easiest way to make your portrait photos sharper. A small flexible tripod holds your phone steady for low-light setups, hands-free self-portraits, and consistent framing across a shoot.
White Foam Board Reflector (2-pack)
RequiredA white foam board bounces window light back onto the shadow side of your subject's face, reducing harsh shadows without any electricity. Two boards let you control light from both sides or build a simple DIY lightbox.
Clip-On Lens Kit for Smartphone
A portrait lens attachment (85mm equivalent) compresses the image slightly and reduces the wide-angle distortion that makes noses look too large in phone portraits. Significantly upgrades phone portrait results.
