Jazz Up Your iPhone Photography
February 26, 2022The Silvermans have been teaching photography and leading workshops for over 20 years. The iPhone camera is the GREATEST! Do you like to hike, take a trip, join a family gathering, cook fun food, eat a special meal at a restaurant? Well, you undoubtedly have your phone with you and we want to help you maximize its potential.
Learn some editing tricks, conquer lighting challenges, find some special options that many of the phones have, explore some great apps for the phone camera. Pt Reyes is not only a wonderful place to learn, but to explore. You will have the opportunity to explore, learn and apply new techniques with your phone.
All series of the iPhone are welcome; Androids are welcome (although we do demonstrate with the iPhone) and no photo experience is necessary. You have probably been taking a lot of selfies, and other photos, but learn and explore some great techniques and ideas for taking your phone camera to the next level!
Susan and Neil Silverman are a husband-wife team who have taught and photographed together for over twenty years. They have been leading their own workshops for over fifteen years and taught for Great American Photography Workshops; for BetterPhoto.com, Santa Fe School, PPA affiliates, PPC, B&H Photo, Pacific North West Art School, Gualala Arts Center and the Santa Rosa Junior College. They have embraced the technology and creative aspects of the phone cameras and love sharing the excitement and immediate satisfaction that they offer. They take the digital phone photography to a whole new level of excellence and excitement!! Their website is www.silvermansphotography.com
