We live in a video-first world. Whether you need a headshot for LinkedIn, a profile picture for Zoom, a quick scan of a document, or just a silly photo to send a friend, your laptop is likely the most accessible camera you own.
The best camera is the one you have with you. And right now, that camera is staring you in the face.

But here is the funny thing: Most people have never actually taken a photo with their laptop. They know how to video call , but a still image? That feels different.
Open your Camera app right now and take one test photo. Adjust the lighting. Take a second one. I promise the second photo will be better than the first.
