Your phone takes thousands of photos. How many are you actually proud of?
Most phone photos fall flat for three simple reasons: the camera guesses the exposure, the focus lands in the wrong place, and the frame is cluttered. Fix those and the difference is instant.
In two hours on Melbourne's laneways you'll take control of your phone's camera, then edit on your phone with time to practise rather than a rushed demo. iPhone and Android both covered.
What you'll learn:
  • Tap to focus, exposure lock and the exposure slider
  • Using the grid and lens choices (ultra-wide, main and telephoto)
  • Finding and using flattering light
  • Composition that makes phone photos stand out
  • Portrait, night and long-exposure modes, and when to use them
  • Editing in five minutes: crop, exposure, colour and contrast
Why this workshop is different:
  • Never more than eight people, so you get real help with your own phone
  • Every technique follows the same rhythm: we explain it, show it, you shoot it, and we review your photos together
  • Most sessions are taught by our founder, a working photographer and award-winning educator with a Master of Arts in Photography
Suitable for all levels. Whether you've just bought your first camera or you've been shooting for years, our educator will adapt to your level. No camera needed.
Book for yourself, or give it to the person whose camera roll needs it most.
