Smartphone Photography Workshop
Suitable for any make and model of smartphone, this is an introduction to the fundamental basics of photography without the need for expensive camera equipment. In this course, we also cover how to edit your photos using Snapseed, one of the best free apps available.
Who is this course for?
This course is for anyone who would like to take better photos with their smartphone camera, whether you are an accomplished photographer or have an interest in photography. The course will also be helpful if you want to learn how to take better social media images for business or personal use.
What can I expect?
This is a practical session. We will be going outside, near Bishopsgate Institute, so we can put into practice what we are learning as we go along. We will return to a room in the Institute to edit at the end of the session. Please dress appropriately for the weather on the day.
Will I need any equipment or materials?
You will need a fully charged smartphone. A portable charger is useful too, if you have one. Please download the free Snapseed app before the session.
Incredible how much info Jeanette imparted in 2 hrs and all with a laugh and enthusiasm… Lots of demystifying of smart phone cameras and made all of us at ease and confident we would improve. Left with huge smile on my face.
