Whether you use an Apple iPhone or an Android smartphone, this friendly, hands-on session will help you build confidence, develop your photographic eye and discover how to take more creative photographs using the phone you already own.
The morning begins at Carolyn’s home workshop space in Stoke sub Hamdon, South Somerset, where we’ll explore the key features and settings of your smartphone camera. You’ll learn how to make the most of natural light, improve composition, control focus and exposure.
We’ll then head out for a guided photo walk around the beautiful local landscape, putting your new skills into practice.
We’ll look at simple ways to enhance your images using smartphone editing apps, including Snapseed, learning how to adjust lighting, colour, contrast and composition.
No previous photography experience is needed, and you don’t need an expensive camera or specialist equipment, just your smartphone.
What you’ll learn:
- Get to know your smartphone camera and its key features.
- Improve composition, framing, focus and exposure.
- Make better use of natural light.
- Develop your confidence through a guided photo walk.
- Discover easy editing techniques using Snapseed and other smartphone apps.
- Make more creative photographs.
What to bring: Your smartphone (Apple or Android), fully charged, with a little storage space available for your photographs. Comfortable footwear and weather appropriate clothing are recommended for the photo walk.
This small group workshop, of no more than 6, offers a supportive, informal environment with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, experiment and receive guidance.
Tea, coffee and biscuits provided.
Suitable for beginners and anyone who wants to take better photographs with their smartphone.
