About the class

Get ready for your fall travels with this iPhone photography workshop, appropriate for all levels of experience. This class combines discussion, demonstration, and hands-on practice with your iPhone camera. We’ll not only discuss the phone settings, but also inspire and mentor on how to MAKE a great photo, not just TAKE a snapshot!! The phone cameras are wonderful and powerful devices, and we will enlighten you on how to make the most of it. It will be a fun and stimulating class – and you will be able to create and save photos that you will want to share, and that will help preserve memories of special people, times, and trips.

  • Part One : Getting Started
    • Gaining control over your camera with basic settings, compositional considerations
  • Part Two: Diving Deeper
    • Controlling the camera for more control of exposure, focus, shutter speeds, choice of lenses
  • Part Three: Going All In
    • Panoramic, close up photography, portraits, filters, videos
  • Part Four: Wrapping It Up
    • Artistic considerations, some great apps for fine tuning images and creativity

Instructors

As a husband and wife team we have been “captured” with photography for over twenty-five years – teaching, leading workshops and working professionally in many venues. We enjoy teaching all aspects of getting a memorable photo: techniques, technical decisions, lighting, compositional elements, and opening the avenues of photographic discoveries for our participants. We have taught for the Gualala Art Center, Santa Rosa Junior College, Pacific Northwest Art School, Pt. Reyes Field Institute, Great American Photography Workshop (GAPW), Better Photo as well as many Photo Clubs and organizations. Sharing knowledge, experiences and camaraderie is as important as “getting the shot”.
