Unlock the power of your iPhone camera! The iPhone is more than just a camera—it is a powerful, creative companion that is always within reach.
Join Susan and Neil Silverman in this fun, hands-on workshop. Participants will go beyond the basics and learn how to bring their unique vision to life, whether they are capturing everyday moments, stunning landscapes, or expressive portraits. Whether brand new to photography or a seasoned enthusiast, participants will leave with fresh ideas, practical skills, and a renewed creative spark. Through live demonstrations, relaxed group discussions, and real-time tips, this workshop explores:
How to confidently adjust settings and controls
Using exposure, focus, and filters for artistic flair
Playing with shutter speed, macro mode, and lens options
Capturing striking portraits, close-ups, and panoramas
Easy composition techniques to make images stand out
Best of all, the group will head into the Gardens to practice these techniques in a beautiful and inspiring setting, because there is no better way to learn than by doing. Join the adventure and Find Your Vision—with the camera already in your pocket!

THE DETAILS
- Bring a fully charged iPhone and cord, paper, and a pencil/pen.
- Consider bringing a water bottle, snacks, and a sack lunch, or you can plan to hop over to Rhody's Cafe during the break.
- The class will include a little indoor instruction and hands-on time outside. Be prepared for the weather with appropriate layers.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
Susan and Neil Silverman are a husband-and-wife photography team who have been sharing their passion for over 25 years—teaching, leading workshops, and capturing moments across a wide range of styles and settings.
They have taught at Kelby Photo Conferences, Santa Rosa Junior College, Pacific Northwest Art School, Point Reyes Field Institute, and for numerous photography clubs and organizations. Their work has been featured nationally and internationally. But for them, the true reward lies in sharing stories, building connections, and inspiring creativity in others.
Their Philosophy
The rise of smartphone cameras has opened the world of photography to everyone—no experience required. Susan and Neil believe that great images come from a mix of thoughtful technique and creative composition. With just a little guidance, iPhone photos can go from simple snapshots to powerful, eye-catching images.
