TAKE BETTER SMARTPHONE PHOTOGRAPHS
8 PLACES £35.00 ( +£1 booking fee )
DO YOU LOVE TAKING PICTURES ON YOUR PHONE, AND WOULD LIKE TO BE EVEN BETTER?
Rainstorm, the picture Not Quite Light is perhaps best known for, was taken on an iPhone 6. The Guardian runs a weekly slot showcasing smartphone photography, and so it’s clear that you don’t need a fancy DSLR to make great photographs.
These days smartphones are very sophisticated, and they take a lot of the guesswork out of expoosing the photograph correctly. However, you still need to be able to ‘see’ the picture, get the best composition, time when when you press the shutter and process the image so it looks professional.
This simple and fun workshop will show you some handy tips and techniques that will help take your smartphone photography to the next level. Not only will we look at how to get the best out of your phone’s camera, we’ll also explore ways of observing the world around you like a photographer, so that you’ll be able to take great pictures on any device. Think how great this will be for travel pictures, or on special occasions!
In the morning we’ll see how the greats of painting and photography go about using lighting and composition, the foundations of great imagery, and then look at the technqiues you will need to make the best of your camera phone.
After lunch we’ll go on a photowalk and take some pictures, before returning to the studio to discuss the photographs you’ve taken and look at some simple processing techniques using free apps readily available for your phone.
You can try out you new found skills on my twilight photowalk around Media City and Salford Quays on the same evening…Click the link to book.
