How to take landscape photos with a phone

If you’re wondering how to take landscape photos with a phone, then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve captured the natural world with some of the best cameras for landscape photography, but in a pinch, I still reach for my camera phone. Landscape photography is one of the most accessible forms of photography because you don’t necessarily need high-end kit, and potential subjects are all around us.

Most of the images here were captured on my iPhone 13, but any Apple or Android device with a decent camera will serve you well. In my opinion, capturing landscapes is less about kit and more about good planning and composition. Throughout this article, I’ll talk you through setting up your phone for success, a few accessories you might like to invest in, and the best time of day to capture landscapes. So, grab your phone (and maybe a tripod) and I'll walk you through my landscape photography tips.
