Top photography expert Gursimran Basra said: "To capture beautiful low light photographs, it is extremely important to keep your iPhone stable to get the maximum sharpness out of the phone. It's also important to look for light angles which makes the photographs bright and lit up. Trying various angles can be useful here."

The manual control over the exposure while shooting in the low light conditions helps to keep the photograph crisp and sharp Last, I do not zoom while shooting in the low light as it may distort the pixels.

His experience with iPhone 13 Pro Max: "I'm absolutely in love with iPhone 13 Pro Max's ultra-wide camera lens which captures more details in the low light conditions by capturing more light. It is giving me an added edge in shooting this festive season of Diwali. I'm also blown away shooting with the new Cinematic Mode, Apple has introduced which brings these amazing videos in low light as well as in day time giving me no reason to skip any festive moment to shoot."

Sharing his experience with iPhone 13 Pro Max, famous photographer Anurag Banerjee said: "I love the fact that Apple increased the size of the sensors on all three cameras this year, allowing for more light to come in and hence much better low light shots. It allows me much more flexibility to do more when the light conditions are challenging.”

Tips and Tricks from Anurag Banerjee

The steadier the camera, the better the night mode image. If you don't have a tripod for your device, look for places to keep your camera or where you can support your hands for minimum shakes. Use blacks and darkness to your advantage. Especially while making low-light portraits, try having a lot of contrast in the frame so that your subject stands out even more.
