Use your phone to capture the perfect shot at this SMBMad Lunch & Learn event with Josh Feyen.
About this Event

Great content starts long before you hit "post" — it starts well before you raise your phone. In this hands-on 90-minute session, photographer and marketer Josh Feyen shows you how to plan for, and then capture photos and video worth sharing, using the phone already in your pocket.

You'll practice as you go, learning simple, platform-agnostic camera settings and composition rules that work on any device — plus a few little-known tricks for nailing selfies. The focus is on getting the shot right in the moment, so you walk away from your next event with a phone full of content-ready images and the skills to keep capturing them.

Bring your phone, bring your questions, and leave ready to create photos and videos that stop the scroll.
