Smartphone Holiday Photo Walk

Smartphone Holiday Photo Walk

Join Michael Koren photographing the colorful and festive holiday decor at the west wing of the National Gallery of Art and the Capitol Tree.

Tap into your creative side through smartphone photography. Learn to use the camera that’s always with you and go beyond taking a simple snapshot to using apps and creating a photograph that’s an artistic expression unique to your vision. 

We’ll explore how to turn the mobile camera’s limitations such as one lens, fixed aperture, no zoom and a small sensor to advantages using creative techniques of focus, exposure and composition.

You’ll create pictures on an easily paced photo walk with guided instruction coupled with gentle critique and suggestions to make your pictures the best they can be. 

This class is designed for users of iOS and Android mobile devices. Participants will need to bring a fully charged smartphone. 

Questions can be directed to Marie Joabar at info@capitalphotographycenter.com.

Class limit: 8-9
