This workshop is designed for photo enthusiasts seeking to create more compelling images and stretch your creativity.

Through demonstration and experimentation, you will:

Learn how to compose more compelling images through your viewfinder regardless of subject matter.

Deconstruct photographs from the masters to identify and understand the importance of composition, light, perspective, color, texture, focal point, etc.• Understand how to adjust camera settings, shoot, manage, and share photos made with your iPhone.

Take photo walks to shoot images based on prompts and experiment with a variety of subject matter (portrait, landscape, architecture, still life and candid documentary).

Participate in image critique sessions to consider viewer perspectives and ultimately improve your photographs.

Get step-by-step instruction and tips on how to use a variety of photography apps to enhance your images and stretch your creative boundaries – from simple exposure adjustments to crafting layered abstractions.
