iPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS

  A  Journey Around the Block
Photographing your Local Environment

 

Looking to indulge in the creative process of photography?

Learn to “see” and capture beauty in the ordinary. You’ll be amazed to discover that there are photographic opportunities just beyond your doorstep.

After an introductory session, students will be asked to photograph what they see while taking a walk around their block in between weekly sessions. Students will bring photos into class on a flash drive to participate in a group sharing and photo critique. Areas of review will include editing, cropping, composition, content, and contrast.
Recommended for age 13 and up.

Materials: cell phone and a link to an instagram account

Highlights:
-Creating awareness and training your eye to “see” photo opportunities
-Learning to capture beauty in the mundane
-Learning how to create an engaging photograph through cropping & composition, color vs. black & white, lighting (contrast, highlights, shadows, textures).

Beyond the Selfie
