It is worthy of note that, one of the real volume buttons act as shutter button to take a picture without tapping the screen, and learning to face a camera without putting it to the head is worth doing, like pointing a finger; totals who have never seen, tend not to point their eyes in the right direction, since they never got to practice that. Keeping fingers out the way of the lense is a big thing, even sighted can do that, though they see it on screen of course. But in the old days when you couldn't, they would.
I try this, like shooting from the hip, if you can reliably point the camera in the right direction from any position, you can do it more discretely, quicker and take more interesting pictures. Discretion is useful, putting a camera to the face is a sighted thing, looks bad if you do that and wave a hwite stick. Actually, for BrailleTouch users who put the phone flat against their front, it is ready to shoot a pretty straight picture from that position. Hummmnmnmnm,... Ok, if you use the front facing camera, turn it screen into the chest/front to use the other back lense.

It can use in both iphones and also digital camera. I'm not sure what device you have, let say, you using an iphone. if you taking picture of something, try to aline it on your forhead, as if, your eyes become the camera lance. So, whatever you see will be what will be the camera sees. If you can picture yourself in front of the object or the subject you photographing of, you usually have 80% chance of taking it in a line as your eye sees it. It is much easier using a camera, however, using it on an iphone help as well. However, using an iphone does require a lot of practice, as the take picture button is on the sscreen. Another tip, place the phone slitely left to your eye, or to your forehead, as the lance of the back facing camera is on the top right side of the camera. however, if you using the front facing camera, its on the top middle. Again, it takes a lot of practice to get use to, but you'll eventually get there. Hope this help. I hope this help.
