Focused Subject & Simple Background for a Pleasing Image

Written By Grace Zabrocki

Minimalism in photography can be aesthetically pleasing. Try your phone’s macro lens with smaller sea subjects like this clownfish. Simply keep the background pattern confined to the anemone. While focusing on the anemone, wait for the clownfish to swim into the frame and take the photos. This also works with short videos.

Equipment: iPhone 16 Pro Max in a SeaLife SportDiver Ultra housing, 1x iPhone lens with Sea Dragon Duo 6000 Color Boost Set.
