Discover the power of what’s in your BACK pocket!

In this workshop with iPhone photography expert Julie Stauffer, you will learn to use your iPhone as a camera and editing device and will discover the vast technical capabilities of this electronic device. Your photographs taken with your iPhone promise to stand out as creative and personal interpretations of what you “see” before you press the shutter. This workshop is designed to meet you where you are so that those already familiar with some of the introductory information can take off in new directions.

We will download the camera and editing apps, master the intricacies of your in-house Apple camera, take photographs around beautiful Eagles Mere, and edit your images to share with the group. We will explore apps that allow you to change your photograph to a watercolor, an oil painting, a pen and ink drawing, a multiple exposure, an abstract… or just edit your image to make it go from good to great. We will discuss composition of a photograph, what makes a good image, what could one do better, why does one “like” a photograph; it is called deconstruction when we observe what we see in an image and what and why it works as a photograph.

By the close of the class, you will have mastered the use of your iPhone with optional camera apps, feel comfortable editing your photos, know how to send your work to others, upload it to Facebook or Instagram, and even print an artistic copy. There will be lots of “ah-ha” moments as Julie walks you through a new experience with your phone.
