Also, our Snapseed tutorial feature continues as we look at how you can use the double exposure tool to easily create a superb abstract photo montage.
Finally, on the Android front, we look at the Huawei P20 Pro and its triple lens camera to see if having three lenses is better than two. Is it just a gimmick or does it actually translate to better quality photos?

What’s inside this latest issue of Mobiography?
Inside our latest issue, we talk to two professional photographers who have both embraced the camera capabilities of the smartphone, and who have been demonstrating the sort of high quality images that can be achieved using the camera that is always in your pocket.
First up, Nan Deng, grand prize winner in this year’s Mobile Photography Awards, talks about his winning portfolio of images which demonstrate a high level of technical ability as well as an expert understanding of composition. Looking at his photos, I often found myself saying the famous words, “I can’t believe these were taken with a smartphone.”
Next, Scott A Woodward, a professional travel photographer whose work has been featured in publications such as National Geographic, Vogue and GQ, offers some essential advice and insight into his approach to composition, use of lighting, and how we can all take better travel and portrait photos.
In our beginner’s guide section, Rob Dunsford looks at reflection photography, a topic that will instantly give the photos you take so much more creative flair and interest. Nicki Fitz-Gerald continues her look at the iColorama app in part two of her three-part series. We also take a look at retro photography by first highlighting some of the Android alternatives to the popular iOS app Hipstamatic. Then I take you step-by-step through the process of creating a vintage, Lomo-style black and white photograph using Snapseed.
