Join award-winning documentary photographer Elizabeth Dalziel for a one-day course exploring the creative possibilities of smartphone photography. Learn how to get the most from your iPhone or Android camera and develop the skills and techniques needed to create professional-looking images.
With smartphones now at the heart of how we take, share and experience photographs, this practical course will introduce you to the fundamentals of photography while helping you make the most of the camera you already carry with you.
Drawing on her experience photographing people and everyday life around the world, Elizabeth will help you move beyond simple snapshots, sharing practical techniques and creative approaches to help you create more compelling images wherever you are.
The course will cover:
- A brief history of photography and the development of the smartphone camera
- Photographic composition
- Getting to know your smartphone camera and its settings
- Editing photographs directly on your phone
- Apps and tools to enhance your smartphone photography
- Approaching an assignment and building a visual story
