Hi, my name is Lee, I am 23 years young and enjoy photography of cars and houses. I just got my first camera and I am excited to learn what I can do with this. Look forward to learning from everyone!

How to Use a Polarizer When Shooting Cars (Even with a Phone) You don’t need a professional camera setup to get clean, high-quality car shots. One of the best tools you can use — even with a phone — is a polarizing filter. You can simply hold the polarizer up to your phone’s camera while shooting. It works the same way it would on a DSLR. Why it matters: Removes reflections from glass, paint, and chrome, giving the car a more defined, polished look. Deepens colors — blacks appear richer, skies look cleaner, and body lines stand out. Reduces glare, which saves you time in editing and gives your shots a more professional finish. Tip: Rotate the filter while looking at the screen — you’ll actually see the reflections fade and the contrast improve in real time. A polarizer is small enough to keep in your pocket, but it makes a massive difference in the final image. If you shoot cars often, it’s one of those tools you’ll never want to be without.
