Get creative, stand out in a crowd, and show your unique photography style in the best light with the vivo V27 5G
In the distant past, photographing your #OOTD to share with your friends meant you’d have to tote a bulky digital camera wherever you went. Now, all you need is your smartphone and maybe a couple of friends to help you nail that winning shot.
Documenting your sartorial choices and taking fashion photographs have become a huge part of social media culture. Whether you’re getting ready for a big event or in pursuit of something creative, there’s no reason why you can’t show off your artistic style on a variety of platforms in just a few snaps.

In order to achieve this, you need to be able to take photos like a pro, and that means learning how to use your smartphone’s camera in ways you never thought possible. Here are some tips on how to ace your photography skills using the vivo V27 and find out why it’s an Aura Portrait Master.
1. Know your light source and the location of your shot
Light is an important factor, especially in the realm of photography. When you’re taking pictures, make sure that you don’t have any harsh light shining on your subject’s face and that your background complements their outfit as well.
Most photographers will tell you that the best time to take photos is in natural light, but that doesn’t mean you can’t play with artificial lighting at any given moment.
From the glares of the sun to the neon lights of the city, you can add pizzazz to your photos with the vivo V27’s Aura Portrait Algorithm feature. The vivo smartphone has a triple rear camera with a 50MP OIS main camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a super macro camera with a Sony IMX766V Sensor that can take photos no matter the occasion.
If you’re after a glow on your face, its Aura light—a ring light that auto-adjusts to ambient light—can soften the shadows from harsh lighting and even light up backlit subjects.
2. Keep steady when taking photos or videos
To capture the most flattering shots, it’s necessary that you hold the phone as still as possible. However, there will be times when your hands can be shaky or slight movements can result in blurry images and videos.
The V27 solves this light conundrum with its very own OIS + EIS Dual-Ultra Stabilization. In this vivo camera system, the smartphone can perform stabilization computations in the thousands per second that you can still get detailed photos even in low light.
3. Make use of your camera’s grid lines
One of the basics of photography is knowing your composition through the rule of thirds. Grid lines are a feature that’s usually turned off by default, but they can make all the difference when you’re trying to line up a shot.
By framing your shot using the grid lines on your vivo V27 camera, it will be easier for you to compose an aesthetically pleasing shot and ensure that your portraits are not cut off at the bottom or top of your subject’s head.
4. Add a cinematic effect using Portrait Mode
If you’re looking for a way to make your fashion photos look more like a movie, the vivo V27’s Portrait Mode uses advanced software to blur out the background and put the focus on you or your subject. The bokeh effect from the portrait mode also adds a little drama or mystery to your photo.
Even in low-light settings, the Aura Portrait System syncs well with the vivo V27’s Portrait Mode to render a balance of skin tone and light on the face.
5. Play with a variety of angles
You don’t always have to take pictures from a straightforward angle. Try taking your photos from different positions and heights to get a good idea of what works best for you.
If you’re shooting by yourself, you can take advantage of the vivo V27’s 50MP Eye Autofocus vlogging camera, a match to its high-resolution rear cameras. Whether it’s mounted on a tripod or handheld, your photos and videos will come in sharp with the selfie mode with HD autofocus.
If you’re in the mood to vlog and document your day for your videos and stories, the 4K 60fps with EIS can take content with such clarity.
6. Zoom in and out to get more details
Zooming in can help you get more details out of the background of your shot, while zooming out makes sure that everything is within focus. Try moving around until you find an angle that works well for showing off all aspects of an outfit or makeup at once without being too awkward or crowded visually.
The V27 has zooming capabilities that can go from wide to super macro in an instant, whether it’s the rear or front-facing camera, designed to capture every detail of your photo.
7. Experiment with light in low-light settings
If you’re taking photos and videos in a dimly lit restaurant or bar, you can adjust your smartphone camera’s settings for more control over how bright or dark your photos are. You can also try positioning yourself closer to a light source like the Aura Light to brighten up the scene.
Photos and videos of your night out can get even more vibrant when using the vivo V27’s Super Night Mode. The feature enhances your photos and videos by reducing noise, improving brightness and contrast, and increasing sharpness.
Whatever your style or personality, capturing your aura in a creative fashion has never been easier. Aside from its photo and video capabilities, the phone also poses as a unique fashion accessory with its Emerald Green Photochromic 2.0 color-changing feature and a 2.36mm narrow frame that can sit in your pocket or purse.
