Depending on lighting conditions, you may need to overexpose the background to get a good shot of your subject. See how you can use Photoshop to bring the overexposed backgrounds back to life. This trick will work if you took a photo of the object and the sky, or if you just have another image of a background you want to use.
I've taken a few photography classes back in the day, so I'm pretty confident in my abilities with a DSLR, but my iPhone is a completely different story. Lighting makes all the difference, so unless you're outdoors in the sun, it's hard to take a good snapshot with a mobile.
You may remember this badass wall of flames photo... That's because last month I highlighted a tutorial by photographer Barry Elder that showed how to light paint with fire.
