Photography Basics with Your Smartphone
This in-person photography introduction class is designed to give beginners a solid foundation in photography through a hands-on, approachable experience. The course covers the basics of smartphone photography settings, helping students get comfortable with the tools they already have. Participants will gain a basic understanding of how to use natural lighting to enhance their photos, and they’ll learn the principles of composition—what it is, why it matters, and how to use it to create better images. The class will also explore visual storytelling through photography, showing students how to add depth to their images. The experience begins with a classroom environment morning overview (coffee included), followed by a group photography walk where students can apply what they've learned in a supportive and creative environment.
