How I Use My Flip Cards

Here at iPhotography we’re suckers for adventure. From developing innovative concepts to exploring uncharted terrain, we just love jetting off!

Our professional photography tutors can’t get enough of the exciting photography opportunities that welcome us abroad. Not long ago I took to the skies once more and trekked along the Great Wall of China.

Whilst on a hike, along the Great Wall of China with my friend Anna, I got out my iPhotography Flip Cards. I took my Flip Cards to China for a handy compositional reminder along the way. Though I was packing for all weather conditions, the Flip Cards were a light addition to my day bag.

Given the vast, incredible views and absolutely fantastic sights we were about to see, obtaining the perfect composition was vital! It soon became clear to me that my fellow hikers were missing some simple, yet effective tips in their photography set-up.

Teaching Photography with Flip Cards

My friend Anna was very keen to show this marvellous wonder of the world through her iPhone camera. Being a photography tutor, she came to me for advice and guidance for ways to improve her photos through the trip.

This is where the Flip Cards played a huge asset! Every day I’d teach her a new compositional tip from the cars to focus on with Anna. This not only gave us a little task to work on each day, but it also taught Anna photography in a really fun and simple way.

Using the Flip Cards Anna and I managed to shoot a range of photographs along the Great Wall of China. These images were built on the principles of photography composition and made the final shots well balanced and dramatic.

The following images are a mix of Anna’s, who wasn’t experienced in photography before the trip, and mine.
