Put phone in glass screen protector box for easy candids

Recently discovered this new shooting method so thought I would share it with you to see what you think.

If you buy a glass screen protector for your phone from amazon, get the small box style protector and your phone will easily fit inside, you may have to glue some extra cardboard fixings to get it nice and secure but it will definitely fit.

Make sure you press down a coupe of times where your camera lens is to the imprint of the outside of the lens, then very carefully with a sharp fine knife cut around the outline of the lens, insert your phone and then test until perfect.

It helps if you find a black box that has the protector in it as your lens will blend easier. This will allow you to get follows with your phone a lot easier without people thinking you have your phone in your hand, however you made need a secondary phone to hold in your other hand to make it look like your doing something as a distraction. You can use marker to clean any rough cut edges.

Good idea , though it would be obviously easy to notice the hole and the the lens popping up, and that may cause you trouble .
