Lightbulbs/daylights are not working. They pics looks very grainy, and there is no daylight today which also made for grainy pics 
Or perhaps I need a better camera. |

"A light bulb or daylight. What other things are available?"
As a tog i would say that side light through a window creating flattering shadow and contrast works best for full body. Candle light for intimate shots. Flash for graphic high contrast pornography.
The light from someones eyes when you just wanna fuck one on one to satisfy your weird 'vanilla' fantasy |

I leave all curtains open and take photos in the brightest rooms. I have white walls and large mirrors in the bedroom which helps to let light in. Good lighting really does make all the difference in pictures! |

Might have to take this into consideration when moving  |

Oneplus 6, but if the Pixel4a's battery isn't shit, I'll switch to that. |

I've said in another thread your lighting is always good. |

Candles? Fireworks? Car headlights? "
Fire off a firework in my room to get some lighting? Good idea |

Make sure you clean your camera lense with a soft cloth before taking a photo. You would be surprised the difference that can make to the quality sometimes!
I do adjust my brightness in my photos if it's a dull day, but if you don't have great lighting to start it won't make much of a difference.
Other than that, I'd recommend standing somewhere where the light from your window comes in and you can also buy daylight bulbs and switch them on too! |

"I really am shit at taking pica"
I have a really good camera on my phone, but I've found success recently in capturing stills from video. I pose a few times and capture the best stills rather than have to retake a million times. |

It’s usually natural light, especially when really sunny as I like how the pictures turn out and how warm they look.
I’m going to get a ring light though after seeing the difference on someone’s Instagram before and after! |

Cleaning the camera lens is a good shout, I wish I thought of that today
At the moment the day light is just non existent in the bedroom even when it's sunny because of the window orientation. |

I used to do that with my GoPro and set it to take a picture every 3 seconds but I can't be asked with that at the moment, too much hassle  |

I use a specific app on my phone and capture stills as I watch myself back. |

I'm another for daylight or lightbulbs. Occasionally I'll use the flash on my phone but it tends to make colours even more odd than normal so I don't do that often.
My photos are basic mobile phone snaps and it shows! |

It's called Video to Photos. It's quite old school but gets the job done. |

Older samsung s3 mini take good photos as well as video.
But the samsung also takes video screen shots when needed as well as a little editor inbuilt into the phone.
So a very handy phone at that.
For lighting I use a spotlight bulb with the new led light in it and bounce it off a white surface.
The bounce off spreads the light more. |

Daylight is always best. Sitting near a sunny window with the sun shining directly on you is your best option. Failing that, a few well placed lamps with work well. |
