1-2 hours per week. Each week learners will be given a theme for their photography.

They can upload their photos in the Outschool classroom before class and I will share everyone's photos on my screen during class.Assessment
There is no formal assessment.Class Experience
In this ongoing class we will be exploring the camera's available on our phones, as well as different apps to edit your photos. Each week we'll begin class by sharing submitted photos either based on a theme given during the last class, or any photo you're proud of that you'd like to share . I'll be sharing them on my screen as we discuss things like composition, light, theme, etc. I'll occasionally share the screen from my phone to show live editing demonstrations. We'll finish the class by discussing the theme for the coming week, we'll look at examples of the theme in photo's from different photographers and we'll address any questions related to that theme. Upcoming Weekly Themes: Week of November 30: Composition Week of December 7: Light Week of December 14: Shadow Week of December 21: Texture Week of December 28: Movement Week of January 4: Reflections Week of January 11: Abstraction I find that photography is a mindfulness practice for me. It helps me to connect in a deeper way to nature and the world around me. Rather than being disconnected through the screen I find I pay more attention to what's happening in front of me, I see more details, I find a quietness inside as I observe more closely. Photography is also a great way to express your creativity, seeing things in different ways than you might otherwise.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about how to better use the camera in their phone.
We'll talk about the basics of light and composition.
I'll share free apps for editing and we'll look at different editing techniques.
Students will learn to pay attention to their surroundings in order to capture the shot they want.
Other Details
Supply List
Learners will need a mobile phone with a camera available to them. I will suggest free editing apps. I personally use an iPhone and that is what I will be able to help with the easiest, but an iPhone is not required.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I completed my BFA with a secondary focus in photography back before there were cameras in our phones. For awhile I couldn't understand why anyone would want a camera on their phone, but as technology progressed I began to prefer taking photos with my phone instead of the camera. Over the last 6 months I did an NFT project called The Daily Good on objkt.com. For 109 days, every single day I took a photo with my phone and uploaded it to objkt.com with a reflection on "what's going good?" After that I continued taking and uploading a new photo Monday - Friday until I had completed 6 months. During that time my mobile photography skills have skyrocketed and I love what I am able to create with just a phone. Reviews
