About this Event
Creating Abstract Photos with your Mobile Phone
Where: Outside CIBC Bank (corner of Gillmore Ave. and Hastings St.)
When: Thursday March 26, 6:30 pm - 8 pm
For ages 13+
Join Burnaby photographer Jillian Chateauneuf for a hands-on workshop exploring how to use your iPhone’s long exposure feature to turn everyday neighbourhood sights into expressive works of art.
In this 1.5-hour session, you’ll review your iPhone camera features then head onto the street, where you’ll experiment with the technique of ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) – a method in which the camera is deliberately moved to blur, distort, or abstract the scene.
Jillian will be joined by fellow photographer Bicram Rijal (for android users) and under their supervision, you’ll try motions such as panning, tilting, and rotation to replace sharp realism with painterly streaks of light, colour, and atmosphere. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a few unique art images and the confidence to continue exploring this playful, expressive approach to photography.
Please note that the workshop will be held outdoors, so participants should dress appropriately. We will gather and close out the workshop in the Community Room at the Janet Routledge Office.
