About this Event

Smartphones have transformed nature photography. The best camera is the one you have with you. This hands-on workshop hosted by Aarthi Arunkumar, gives participants aged 16 and up the skills to get the most out of the camera already in their pocket. Set on the grounds of Evergreen Brickworks, the session covers three things: how to use your phone's camera settings, how to compose a stronger shot, and how to edit your photos in Lightroom Mobile. No prior photography experience is needed.
Whether participants are photographing pollinators in the meadow garden, reflections in the wetland ponds, or the textures of the plants, they will leave with practical skills they can use anywhere

Participants must be 16 years of age and up
About the Artist: Aarthi Arunkumar is an Indian Canadian nature photographer with a keen eye for the tiny details and hidden moments in nature. She explores Toronto’s green spaces, using her camera to tell stories about the natural world—how it thrives, adapts, and sometimes struggles. One of her mantras is that photography is a tool for me to be more mindful and be present in the moment. Alongside photography, she is passionate about teaching and has worked in community centers and a private high school. Through both her images and her teaching, Aarthi hopes to inspire conservation and appreciation for the wild spaces around us.
