You’re not bad at painting! I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been proud of a model, then photographed it and been like “what is this foul abomination I’ve created?!?!?”

Zoomed right in, the details are always going to look a bit funny, but my trick is to take the photo from further away so when you zoom in the resolution isn’t as high.

I appreciate the kind words! That's an interesting method, I'll have to give it a shot (pun intended).

I've been experimenting and trying out different ways to sort out my photography problem ie: minis always photographing blobby and bad quality, and it seems it's my phone camera (for the past 4 phones, so not an individual phone problem). I dug out my old digital camera and teh photos come out clear and closer to as they should. 
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, as others seem to be able to get clear crisp photos from their phone cameras, but that's one thing I've found personally. 

Real cameras seem to have better Macro (close-up) performance, probably due to having lenses that can actually move when they focus. I am not sure how phone cameras can compete with that although evidently some people find a way.

This may help mate
