JD THECAMERAGUY hangs a smartphone portrait from a cloud
A playground swing, a fluffy prop and some Photoshop cleanup create the week's only new upload.

How to make a creative photo like this on your smartphone 📱#photography #photoshoot #fyp
The cloud is a prop; the playground does the supporting work. JD THECAMERAGUY's new smartphone tutorial turns an ordinary swing into a surreal portrait of a man suspended beneath a small, fluffy cloud.
The setup is pleasingly tangible: attach the fake cloud to the swing chains, put the phone on a mini tripod, lower the exposure and frame the shot wide. The model looks up while the camera captures a burst. Photoshop then removes the supporting bar and chains above the cloud, and Lightroom supplies the color adjustments. A viewer singles out the hands-on approach in contrast to AI, though digital editing is very much part of the recipe.
That was the channel's only upload this week, reaching roughly 4,200 views. It also has the strongest daily momentum among the highlighted videos, with the earlier fall-couple photography tip and June's drink-photo tutorial adding smaller trickles.
Across the channel, the week brought about 88,000 views while the subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is a little above its usual level. In the neighboring arts-and-crafts crowd, karenxcheng is enjoying a much bigger-than-usual daily audience, while Ross Draws is quieter than usual. JD THECAMERAGUY's contribution is smaller and specific: a phone-camera lesson whose impossible-looking portrait starts with a real swing.
