Smartphone Photography workshop: FROM “MEH” TO “WOW, I TOOK THAT?!”
October 28 @ 2:00 pm
YOUR PHONE CAMERA IS BETTER THAN YOU THINK.
The problem probably isn’t your phone.
It’s knowing where to stand, what to look for, how to use the light, how to change angle, what to include, what to leave out and when to press that little button.
Because we’re already taking photos every day…
🌴 Trips and adventures
🥂 Lunches and dinners with friends
🌅 Panama sunsets
❤️ Family visits
🌺 Flowers, food and beautiful little details
👫 The people we love
✈️ Places we may never visit again
These aren’t just photos filling up your camera roll.
They’re your memories. And they deserve better than “it looked so much nicer in real life!”
👀 THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU IF…
- You take six versions of the same photo and still don’t know which one is best.
- You see something beautiful, take a photo… and somehow the magic disappears.
- You’re never quite sure where to stand or which angle looks better.
- You photograph people and hear, “DELETE THAT!” 😂
You have loads of camera settings on your phone and absolutely no idea what half of them actually do.
- Or you simply want to look back at your travels, friendships, family and life in Panama and think: “I actually took that.”
Then come learn with me.
⚠️ These are deliberately small, hands-on workshops. I want time to look at what YOU are shooting, help you while you’re doing it and actually teach you, so spaces are limited.
📸 AFTER 13 YEARS AS A PROFESSIONAL WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER…
I’m taking the techniques I use professionally and showing you how to apply them using the camera you already carry everywhere:
Your smartphone.
No expensive camera.
No photography experience.
No intimidating technical jargon.
No hurting your back and shoulders with heavy bags of gear! FINALLY!!
Just practical techniques you can start using immediately.
📱 THREE WORKSHOPS. THREE DIFFERENT SKILL SETS.
And they build on each other.
📸 PART 1 | LEARN TO SEE THE PHOTO
Wednesday 28 October | 14:00-16:30pm
Before you can take a great photograph, you need to learn to recognise one.
We’ll work with:
• Composition and classic photographic rules
• Light and how it changes a photograph
• Smartphone camera settings actually worth knowing
• Angles and perspective
• What professional photographers notice before taking the shot
• Three simple techniques that can take a photograph from “meh” to “WOW, I took that?!”
This is the foundation.
Part 1 teaches you to SEE the photograph.
🌺 PART 2 | LEARN TO CREATE THE PHOTO
Thursday 29 October | 12:00 – 14:00
Now that you can see it, let’s learn how to CONTROL it.
Think:
🌺 Flowers | 🍰 Food | 🦋 Insects | ☕ Products| 🔍 Textures and details | ✨ Those gorgeous blurred backgrounds
You’ll learn how to set and control focus, sharpness, depth, light, detail and composition, rather than pointing your phone and hoping it somehow understands what you had in mind. 😂
This is where your camera roll starts looking VERY different.
👩❤️👨 PART 3 | PEOPLE & PORTRAITS
Thursday 29 October | 15:00 – 17:00
Most people can photograph a sunset. People are harder. 😅
We’ll work with:
Individual portraits
Natural versus posed photographs
Flattering angles
How to find the best light
Choosing backgrounds and locations
Putting together all you learned, from composure, to reflections, to blur backgrounds and more!
So whether you’re photographing your partner, friends, children, grandchildren or someone you meet on your travels, you’ll know how to create a photograph they’ll actually want you to send them.
Instead of: Let me see, thanks, you will get, OMG send that to me! 😂
🎁 COMPLETE ALL THREE & THERE’S A BONUS
Stay with me after Part 3 for a complimentary 30/40-minute smartphone editing session.
I’ll show you the editing app I personally use, when I edit directly on my phone and when I move into my photo app.
Then I’ll take you step by step through how I take a good photograph and give it that final professional polish.
Without making it look ridiculously filtered or fake.
No radioactive blue skies.
No orange skin.
No 2012 Instagram-filter flashbacks. 😂
Just simple editing that makes a good photograph look finished.
🤔 NOT SURE WHETHER TO BOOK ONE OR ALL THREE?
- If you simply want to start taking better composed, Part 1 is your starting point.
- If you want to really change the way you use your smartphone camera and be ready to use part one in everyday situations without fumbling, do the complete series.
- Each workshop teaches a different skill set and all three have been designed to work together.
And there’s a little incentive…
🔥 Book the complete series and you SAVE PLUS get the complimentary editing session included (Value $30)
