As many creatives have asserted, inspiration is everywhere, so whipping out a DSLR requires a considerable amount of effort and time, which is a luxury and skill many are not privileged to, especially in the by-the-second pace of the contemporary and connected world. Today, the bulk of even the near professional camera has been left to the hands of the experts, while the veritable extensions of the self, our smartphones, have become a worthy alternative for the perfect images at a moment’s notice. And let’s get real here, the results, especially when it comes to street style photography are not far off from each other either.

In fact, for some, it is the primary hook they latch on to. With content being the currency of consumption, a lot rides on what the phone can capture, so in terms of innovating its technologies, brands have definitely been stepping up their game.

Compose Yourself And Keep It Steady

Focus. This is a word that grounds the business of imagery. While there is a certain charm to wispy and whimsical shots that make great use of shakes and sharpness, one cannot discount the power of a concentrated photograph. The basic still holds true: Compose yourself and keep your hands steady. But even with one’s best efforts, not everything will be as balanced. While the realme 9 Pro Series has an impressive autofocus that gives a photo its depth, it also allows for a more freeform control, which you can zoom and focus with a simple swipe and tap. In addition, the realme 9 Pro+ is equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and AI Noise Reduction Engine 3.0 to address common factors that could make or break any shot taken in low light.

Capture The Light, Even At Night

In photography, light is of utmost importance. Even at its most dramatic, there is always a sliver of light that flirts with a fragment of time, making it even more fascinating. So, when capturing a moment, it is imperative to find the best light. Now, as fickle as nature is, the light will not always be on your side, or who knows, you just wanted to turn that slice of life immortal at night. Do not fret because the realme 9 Pro+ is equipped with the ability to embrace the night with the flagship-level Sony IMX 766 camera sensor. Here, there will be no more fussing with edits just to bring a photo come to life even with the least ideal lighting. Even videos are captured in the best of light with its AI Nightscape enhancement algorithm. On the other hand, the realme 9 Pro is just as capable with its 64MP Triple Camera Setup that has been fine-tuned to capture high-resolution snaps in various lighting conditions.

Expose The Streets

If you think painting your street style photos with streaks of heightened colors is impossible? Think again. Even without technical settings and a tripod at your disposal, you can bring your dull and dreary night shots to life with smart long exposures. With just a touch using the Street Photography 2.0 of the realme 9 Pro, the limits of creativity are challenged with a surprising ease. Here, this pro-level photography feature will help make you take better shots straight from your phone with its inherent Long Exposure Mode. Bokehs and neon portraits aside, you can also make use of the Neon Trail, Light Trail Portrait, Rush Hour settings to enhance your captures with color, clarity, and creativity. In a click, the ordinary becomes decidedly extra.

And filters? They can be your friend, when done just right. Flick through the realme 9 Pro series and make use of the Nightscape and 90s Pop filter where you can capture the light at its most magnificent in a photograph worthy to be admired from day to night.
