Course Description

Unleash your inner photographer with our immersive 10-day summer course designed specifically for aspiring young photographers aged 11-14.

We can now take high quality photos on your smartphone and edit them on the same device in the computer lab. But what is the secret to taking great pictures with your smartphone? In this course, you will learn about settings on any smartphone you have. You will learn about setting the camera’s focus, using gridlines, negative space, perspectives, reflections, use of natural light, and the do's and don'ts. One thing that we suggest is to consider buying a mobile tripod.
