This hands-on class gets students out of their seats and creating right away. After covering basic photography principles and smartphone camera controls, the focus will shift to shooting in the real world. Students will learn how to spot compelling subjects in their surroundings, pose classmates in creative ways, and apply composition techniques that will elevate their images. And for those who want them, props supplied by the instructor can be used to add another layer of fun and creativity to their pictures. Using the objects supplied by the instructor as well their surrounding environment, students will experiment with different arrangements, camera angles, and zoom settings to create their own dynamic photographs. Throughout the activity, the instructor will offer suggestions, answer questions, and provide feedback to help participants refine their techniques and try novel approaches.
Once the photographs are taken, the class wraps up with a brief introduction to the editing process, with the students learning how images can be refined and even transformed into eye-catching works of art. This class is perfect for anyone who wants to develop a more artistic eye, experiment with photography, and learn how to capture unique images using everyday objects and in everyday places. No photography experience is necessary—just bring your smartphone (with a charged battery) and your curiosity.
A very complete handout will be distributed on arrival. It contains lots of information and will greatly simplify the process of understanding what’s being taught in class. You’ll also find it quite useful for review after you get home.
