Not long ago, many fans messaged me on Weibo asking whether it’s better to bring a DSLR or a smartphone with better pixels when traveling...
Regarding this question, I’m sure you’ll find the answer after reading the following sharing!
Recently, the two of us (@Z? (illegible or corrupted character sequence) /span>@Chen XianSalt) traveled to Turkey with just one MeituT8!
From Istanbul to Cappadocia, all the beautiful scenery was captured through the lens of the Meitu phone. Today, I’m going to show you how to take amazing travel photos with the MeituT8.
How to take great portraits?
1.Customized beautification
Custom beautification is key for stunning portrait shots, but when you’re traveling, you’re bound to be tired. The great thing about the MeituT8is that its AI selfie mode allows for customized beautification, identifying the best beautification settings based on facial features and age. Even with oily skin and panda eyes, you can still get a perfect shot — no more spending five minutes taking a photo and an hour editing it. (And the beautification effect looks very natural, with sharp image quality where you can even count every strand of hair and eyelash~.)
2.Capture the magic of the moment
@Chen XianSalthas emphasized more than once that if you want the most natural photos, “candid shots” are undoubtedly the best method. And the MeituT8has a fast focusing speed, making it ideal for candid photography so you don’t miss the most beautiful moments.
3.Backlighting adds style
Backlight photography is a weakness for many phones — either the lens flare and ghosting ruin the shot, or the focus just won’t work. But the MeituT8performs exceptionally well in backlight conditions, delivering highly satisfying image quality.
Of course, if you want more textured photos, you can turn on real-time filters while shooting or later edit them into different styles using apps like Meitu Xiuxiu. Different color filters create unique moods — for example, the photo below can be processed into black and white or a light-leak film style, both of which are incredibly aesthetic.

How to take great landscape photos?
1.Choose unconventional sights
Taking landscape photos doesn’t have to follow conventional formulas. You can capture fleeting beauty — like scenery outside a car window, brilliantly colored drifting clouds, an unexpected horse-drawn carriage, a sunset hot air balloon landing... Remember, what you shoot is interesting only if it’s different from what others have shot.

On the road, the scenery is stunning, but often it’s hard to capture, especially in low light. Thankfully, MeituT8boasts powerful night photography capabilities, allowing you to shoot bright night scenes even in dim environments.
2.Capturing colors
The beauty of a scene lies in its colors, so capturing them well is crucial.
MeituT8It offers high color accuracy and saturation, enriching the visual effect while staying true to the scene's original appearance.
How to take great couple selfies?
Manyinsgorgeous photos shared by popular couples are taken by professional photographers, but our photos together@Chen XianSaltare all personally taken by us — which requires a tripod, a Meitu Bluetooth remote control, and the timer feature on Meitu phones.
Ps: Must give props to the remote feature — it completely frees up your hands and feet. You just need to pose wellposestand in front of the lens and press the Bluetooth remote in your hand; no more asking passersby for help.
Of course, as someone considerate, I’ll also give you a few tips:
1,Couple outfit coordination
As they say, get the clothes right and you’re halfway to a great photo. It doesn’t have to be matching couple outfits — as long as the colors complement or contrast, like the classic black-and-white combo…
2,Lighting selection
The best time to shoot portraits is usually during soft lighting conditions, as it’s not harsh on the eyes and improves your chances of getting great shots.
3,Tripod
If you want your photos to have more artistic feel, try using a tripod and the Bluetooth remote — this avoids making the image look too “selfie-ish” or like a simple close-up.
4,Simplify in photography
For example, ignore the details. You can use backlighting at dusk or before sunrise to capture silhouettes — simple yet textured, much better than forced overexposure.
Traveling can be tiring enough as it is, and carrying a bulky DSLR camera might just push your boyfriend over the edge—so high-pixel cameras like the Meitu phone with its2100-megapixel lensT8are already perfectly suited for travel photography. They’re lightweight yet still meet high photographic standards. I recommend everyone travel light these days.
