Photography - Fantastic Photos on Your Phone

Luscious landscapes, powerful portraits, and captivating close-ups! “The best camera is the one that you have with you!” (Chase Jarvis) These days, for most people, most of the time, that camera will be your smartphone. Learn to take full advantage of your mobile phone camera in order to take stunning images. With no previous experience required, this course is for anyone who wants to get the best out of their iPhone or android mobile phone camera.

Description

The #1 rule in photography is 10% gear / 90% knowledge. Simply put, your smartphone can create beautiful photos.  Come along to this 4-week  workshop and be inspired by a fun mix of theory and hands-on practice, suitable both for beginners and those with some experience.

You'll learn about the key features found in most modern smartphones including timer mode, panoramic mode, portrait mode, selfie mode, and time-lapse mode.

 You'll learn camera basics that will help you easily and fully understand the capabilities of your mobile phone camera, including topics such as exposure, focal length, depth of field, lighting, contrast, dynamic range, flash, and photo resolution.

 You'll learn more advanced photography techniques that can be applied to mobile & iPhone photography, including the fundamentals of framing, composition, lighting, and storytelling.

 Finally, you’ll get to polish your picture-making and composition skills by receiving feedback on the images you capture between sessions. You’ll learn how to edit, share and store these images using Google Photos.

 What to bring: You’ll need a fully charged smartphone, some data on your phone plan and some spare storage space on your device.

A condition of enrolment is that you must provide photo ID when you attend, unless you have already provided your NSN number at the time of registration (in which case photo ID is not required).
