Our day will be full of discussion, demonstration, and actually getting out and about and practicing with your iPhone.

We will cover settings of the phone, settings of the camera, many of the technical aspects of the camera/phone but also we will be teaching lighting, compositional elements, focus, portrait photography, macro and close up and panoramic and much more..

The iPhones are wonderful and give us all a super opportunity to create wonderful photos that are not only artful, but capture those special moments and memories to keep and share.. All iPhones are welcome (do not need to have the latest) and all levels of experience are welcome. The old saying is that “One picture is worth a thousand words”, we want you to capture that ONE picture and not have to take a thousand pictures to tell your story!!!

Susan and Neil Silverman have treasured, thought and taught photography together for over 20 years. Sharing their knowledge and experience is as exciting as capturing the image itself. They strive to inspire their students with knowledge, insight and techniques to create new pathways of individual expression for each person.
