Smartphone Photography Course

In this fun and practical photography course, which is suitable for both locals and visitors, you will learn how to take high-quality images using your iPhone or Android smartphone camera.

We will begin with a brief overview of the camera settings and then get fully hands-on with a walking tour through the historic and beautiful areas of The Rocks and Sydney Harbour where you will have the opportunity to practice your photography skills, unleash your creativity and find your own style.

You will learn by doing and gain skills on fundamental photography techniques: composition of an image, focus and exposure control, blurring backgrounds (depth of field), lighting, how to capture moving subjects and photography styles to get stunning photos.

By the end of this workshop, you'll understand how to take advantage of today's smartphone cameras.

In addition to capturing a variety of subjects, you'll also learn how to quickly and easily edit and improve your images using a free photo app. (You will be emailed as to which photo app to download onto your phone prior to the workshop).

Have fun in this informal class and discover your smartphone camera's potential to easily capture those special moments!
