Class Description

Description

Discover how to maximize your iPhone camera capabilities and transcend the limitations of basic snapshot photography to create artistic photographs that represent your unique creative vision. Join us at the National Gallery of Art and unlock your artistic potential through the dynamic medium of mobile photography with your iPhone.

Using our iPhone cameras as our primary tools, we will explore the diverse offerings of the Museum, from striking abstract sculptures and vibrant paintings to impressive wall hangings and the distinctive architecture of the building itself. You'll find countless photographic opportunities perfectly suited to iPhone photography throughout the venue.

We begin with foundational knowledge of iPhone camera operation and review essential settings that optimize image capture. We then progress to advanced pro tips and sophisticated techniques involving exposure control, composition principles, and precise focus management that will help you achieve your most impressive results.

The marketplace offers an overwhelming array of photography apps that can confuse even experienced photographers when making purchasing decisions. During this class, we will highlight some of the most powerful and exciting apps available for image processing, allowing you to confidently select tools that help you realize your artistic vision.

This class is specifically designed for users of iOS mobile devices. A complete list of recommended apps will be provided in your confirmation letter; these apps typically cost no more than five dollars each.

Topics we will explore include:

  • Proper camera techniques and optimal settings for iPhone image capture
  • Practical tips and advanced techniques for using the iPhone's built-in native camera application
  • Discovery and application of exciting photo editing apps
  • Hands-on practice with both image capture and editing workflows
  • Constructive image critique and personalized feedback on your work

Required Materials: Participants must bring a fully charged iPhone to class. We recommend bringing a portable charger as well, since photographic activities can rapidly deplete battery life.

    The class was terrific — nice balance of didactic and practice. A great deal of information for 4 hours — an additional hour would not have been wasted. I will recommend enthusiastically to friends — and I’ll be back!

    I thought the class was wonderful. It was informative, interesting and exactly what I had hoped for. The instructor was great and obviously organized and competent. He used great examples and had a good sense of humor. He took the time to learn and remember names and he kept to a structure and time limits that were impressive. We started and ended on time! I learned so much in a way I understood. It truly was an excellent class. The only thing that I did not like about the class was the student he/you allowed to attend who was an Android user and was new to her phone. She monopolized his time, monopolized the space so it was often hard to take a shot you might want to take, and took time and attention away from the other students. I am curious about why she was allowed to take an I Phone class when she had an Android. I honestly think the instructor should have set some boundaries with her instead of giving her private instruction. This is the only criticism I have and it can be easily addressed by adhering to the class description that this is for IPhone users. Thank you.
