The kit includes three lenses: a fisheye, macro and wide-angle so you can add variety to your shooting sessions. When you want to switch up your shot, attach the lens to the universal lens clip (which can fit a wide range of smartphones).

This lens kit comes with wide and macro lenses screwed together which is convenient and helps make storage easy. If you want to use the wide-angle just attach both lenses to the clip. If you want to change perspectives and catch more detail with the macro lens, just unscrew the wide-angle one. Once you're done taking pictures, safely store the lenses in the included velvet carrying bag to keep them secure and scratch-free.

Amazon Reviewers agree that this set is just the thing to level up and take your photography to a “wonderful level.”

“This lens kit was a great investment for me to make as a smartphone photographer because it allows a little more flexibility within an otherwise inflexible medium. The first shot I took was with the macro lens and the picture I took paid for this kit itself, it is so clear and detailed. Impossible to replicate without a macro lens or a cheap non-smartphone camera.”

Tip #2: Take control of the lighting

Having the right lighting is essential in taking the perfect shot. Unfortunately, the sun is constantly on the move — making it impossible control the angle of natural lighting. Using a ring light can make a huge difference. This is especially useful in portrait photography because a ring light casts an even glow on the entire face which illuminates the eyes while minimizing the blemishes and wrinkles that overhead lighting emphasizes.

This ring light from GearLight is a great choice for anyone trying to improve their portrait photography. This light comes on a stand that can adjust from 17 to 60 inches so you can take photos of both standing and sitting subjects. It also comes with 3 different lighting modes and 10 different brightness settings so you can truly customize the light to make your vision a reality. The best part? You can easily connect your phone to the light so there's no need to buy additional tripods or stands.

Add stunning photos to your portfolio and profile with the these photography essentials and give your shots new depth, detail and variety. Remember, you can try out other tips and tricks to take your skills to a new level. Most importantly, have fun getting those beautiful shots.
