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.
