I'm happy to announce that I'm teaching two phone photography classes at Phipps Conservatory this fall. Both classes are an introduction to phone photography and both will be taught virtually.
What will you learn?
Understanding both the aesthetic and technical aspects of phone photography will give you the tools to solve problems that prevent you from taking the photos you want.

6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
You must register for this class on Phipps website.
$25 members | $30 nonmembers
Presented as a live webinar through Zoom
Level: Beginner to intermediate
Virtual classes are recorded and made available to all registered participants for one month after the program.
Learn how to make better photos with your phone. Discover how to get the most out of your smartphone’s camera and learn what to do with your photos once you’ve taken them. Learn about exposure, composition, your phone's limitations and advantages, and more. All are welcome.
