About the class
Get ready for your summer 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
Note: All camera phones are welcome, but we will be demonstrating on an iPhone. All levels of photography experience are welcome. There will be a one-hour lunch break. Please bring a bag lunch or plan to grab a bite nearby.
Please share any special considerations (medical, physical, learning) that will help your instructor make your class accessible and accommodating for you. You can share these considerations when register or by emailing Sean at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org.
When you register for a class, you’ll be offered three price tiers. The middle tier comes closest to what our registration fees used to be, and covers about 50% of the full cost of your participation in the class – with the other 50% covered by community donations. The first tier creates accessibility for people with limited income, while the third tier covers the full cost of participation – so that we can use community donations to support other people’s registration costs. When you choose to register at the third tier, you directly help support the Center’s efforts to remove financial barriers for others.
The Sonoma Community Center (the Center) strives to create an inclusive, safe community where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. The Center is committed to creating such an environment because it brings out the fullest potential in each of us, which, in turn, contributes directly to creating a community of belonging. In order to ensure a positive, safe, and welcoming experience for everyone, all program participants are asked to abide by the following policies, community agreements, and restorative safety protocol.
