Mobile Phone Photography - Tips & Tricks to Capture and Create Incredible Pictures
About This Course
The digital revolution of the last 20 to 30 years has had many different effects on the art of photography, in both the professional realm and amongst amateur and hobbyist photographers. With the prevalence of smartphones, almost everyone has a powerful digital camera within reach 24 hours a day, it can feel like everyone is a photographer. They allow people with little technical or theoretical knowledge of photography to achieve good results and create striking images, but it is a mistake to confuse this with the sort of understanding that enables professional photographers to create the work they do. There are several skills employed by photographers which are not clear-cut to anyone who simply has the right toys and tools.
In this workshop, we will impart knowledge and skills so that the images produced via your smartphone is comparable and even surpass that of a DSLR. We will mentor you to develop your own personal photography DNA as photography is an expression of who you are.
