How to Shoot Portraits Like a Pro With iPhone Portrait Mode

iPhone Portrait mode helps you blur the background and put more focus on your subject, the same way DSLR cameras do. But that alone is not enough for a good portrait. In this iPhone Portrait mode tutorial, we’ll show you how to use Portrait mode on an iPhone 12 Pro Max to create portraits like professional photographers do.

And, of course, as you take photos of people, there’ll be dozens of shots that differ ever-so-slightly by the angle or facial expression. And while those shots are necessary to capture that one perfect portrait, it doesn’t mean you should keep them all on your iPhone forever. Gemini Photos will scan all the photos you took, identify the best shots, and help you quickly trash all the rest.
