Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this camera phone class:

Explore Los Angeles with the wide-eyed perspective of a first-time tourist, and learn how to capture the mood and feel of the city effectively and efficiently using the camera in your cellphone. Develop a pair of discerning eyes as you find out what to look for, how to take artistic photographs that are more than just snapshots, and how to use these techniques in ANY city. Also, find out how to use a free app from your instructor for more creative "on the spot" artistic and provocative images.

We'll photograph at Union Station, Olvera Street, Grand Central Market, Angel's Flight, the Bradbury Building, Disney Concert Hall, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

Wear comfortable clothing and good walking shoes. Bring along a hat, sunglasses, a fully charged camera battery and extra battery or power source, and camera charging cord.

    Great course. Learned some neat tricks for my iPhone to take better pictures along with going to great locations to practice my new skills.

    Anonymous review on 9/20/2015
    Was super excited about this and totally dissaointed. Got a few nice tips but overall was a bust. Teacher was a nice guy and I enjoyed walking around downtown. Hoverver, ha e taught very little and didn't even have an IPhone or a lot of phone/ tech savy. I was hoping to improve my cell phone photography as someone who works in social media and loves to travel with my phone only for pics- this was definitely not accomplished.
