Smartphone Photography Workshop with
Jennifer Pattison
Join Jennifer Pattison for a day photography workshop using a smartphone. You will gain confidence in using a smartphone camera to capture flattering portraits both inside and outside and also learn how to use simple editing techniques to adjust colour balance and composition.
Guests will arrive at 10 AM for tea/coffee and a short introduction about Jennifer and her work, focusing on her analogue portraits. This will be followed by a group discussion, looking at the diverse range of portrait photography. There will then be an introduction to basic composition rules, guidance for poses, how to work with flattering available light with examples and practical demonstrations.
Next is an introduction to basic tools (exposure, focal length) and techniques to maximise your smartphone photography indoors. There will be a guided practical, focussing on indoor portraits, taking it in turns to photograph each other. Jennifer will be on hand to support, advise and demonstrate, before results are shared with the group.
After lunch, there will be an outdoor guided practical with Jennifer, focussing on outdoor portraits, taking it in turns to photograph each other. There will be the option to print out one A5 portrait each following the session to take home.
