MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY

Take better photos with your smartphone. Learn composition, lighting & mobile editing from scratch.

About the

Course

Every day, we walk past dozens of moments worth capturing. The question is, do we know how to frame them?

Photography isn't just for professionals with bulky cameras and expensive gear. With the smartphone in your pocket, you already have everything you need to take photos that turn heads, tell stories, and stop the scroll.

In this hands-on 2-day workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of photography, from understanding light and composition to shooting portraits, food, landscapes, and architecture like a pro. And when the shooting's done, you'll dive into mobile editing apps that take your photos from "pretty good" to "how did you take that?!"

Whether you're picking up photography as a hobby, levelling up your content game, or just tired of blurry, badly lit photos — this course is your starting point.

Some of the topics covered in this workshop include:

  • Different photography styles including portrait, food, scenery, and architecture
  • Composition techniques such as the rule of thirds and leading lines
  • Understanding and working with natural and artificial lighting
  • Using the exposure triangle to take full control of your shots
  • Hands-on shooting practice with real-world scenarios
  • Photo editing with Snapseed and other mobile photo-editing apps
