All levels are welcome in this phone camera class. Each class will build on skills learned from the previous meeting with a new photo challenge each week. Students will learn about composition choices, contrast and seeing light as well as experimenting with layering various photos to create a dreamlike narrative. Small class sizes allow for comfortable, open discussion during class. Weekly Breakdown Class 1 - Intros, course goals - Get to know camera devices and editing app, Snapseed - Focus on Composition - view and discuss photo montage examples.
