Summer Photo Special

TAKE AMAZING PICTURES WITH ANY CAMERA

One photographer, seven devices, seven top-class photos… read this, and never blame your substandard camera for lame pictures again

No more excuses for shoddy photos – now you can get ace snaps using pretty much anything

It’s often said that the best camera is the one you’ve got with you, but that doesn’t mean certain snappers aren’t better suited to some situations than others. So we’ve selected seven types of photo you might want to take, from street photography to proper portraits, and picked a camera to shoot each one with (plus some accessories to go with it). Whether it’s a £6000 medium-format Fuji, a full-frame compact that’s happier when the lights go out, or the colour-loving Samsung Galaxy S8, there’s a camera here for every situation, and tips on how to get the best out of them. Read on, then get snapping – and don’t forget to share your pics with us on Instagram @Stuffmag.
