Every year we use an app called “Secret Santa gift raffle” and it emails or WhatsApps everyone the person they need to buy a gift for. No more hunting down people to pick a name out of a hat! Ryan McKenzie, Phoneshop Manager

tu t ring hris C Want to improve your festive photography skills? Follow these tips and you’ll be a happy snapper.

Keep it natural Instead of asking people to pose, try capturing moments as they naturally happen, without interfering. This can lead to memorable photos.

Think about framing

Show off your best shots

Most phone settings let you turn on a 3x3 grid to help compose your pictures. Try framing the image so that an important detail (e.g. someone’s face) appears where two lines meet. This usually looks better than keeping the subject deadcentred.

When you’re trying to capture a specific moment, take lots of pics and just keep the best ones. Then, show them off! Why not get your best snaps printed? We’re offering an exclusive deal for readers: visit your local Tesco Photo point and mention the code “[CODE]” to save 20% on your order. 1717
