In this class led by our Artist in Residence, you’ll learn how to take better photographs using just the camera on your cell phone.
One of the awesome things about technology is that it’s easier than ever to express yourself creatively. You can learn how to take (and make!) great photographs without a fancy camera or equipment. All you need is a cellphone and eyes that see the world photographically.
The class will cover composition, cell phone camera techniques, in-phone photo editing, finding your subject matter, and avoiding cliches. You’ll have the opportunity to do some practice exercises, get feedback, and share your images with others in a supportive environment.
By the end of the class, you’ll have a knowledge base that will help you to take better photographs, and a foundation you can build on for future creative endeavors. Each participant will also get to choose one of the photos they create to be featured in a digital publication.
If you’re interested in taking this class, but can’t afford a ticket, there are a limited number of spots available for volunteer assistants. Please contact Missa at [email protected] for more information.
Missa has taught photography and digital media to a wide range of people, from casual art clubs to college classes. Her photographic work has been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally. She is the shopkeeper at Tree of Liminality and cofounder of Farmhouse Art Collective.
