Cameras and smartphones are just devices for you to take pictures. Photography is an art of lighting, framing and living in the moment. Using smartphones instead of cameras to take pictures might be easier and more convenient for some people; and in this workshop you'll learn how to compose creative shots, identify great photo opportunities everyday, just like in a typical camera class.

Yes! Even professional photographers have to use their smartphones in some occasions:) We don't always bring a camera but smartphones are always with us wherever we go. Learning the key differences of taking pictures with smartphones and cameras will sharpen your skill in both worlds. 

There are three major differences: 1) resolution & image quality; 2) focal lengths and 3) depth of field

Understanding how your smartphone camera works allow you to shoot like pro.

Yes absolutely! We are teaching the art of photography with a smartphone. All the lighting, optics, framing and exposure techniques are the same across different models and platforms. However, for the technical aspect of (E.g the Portrait Mode) this class, we will only share IPhone specific knowledge.

The class size is 8-10 attendees.

Believe it or not, photographers love the rain.
