This informal, hands-on, collaborative class will introduce you to key (and easy-to-learn!) principles of photography that will move you from basic point-and-shoot pictures to ones that will have your family and friends saying, “Wow! How did you do that?!” Each class session will begin with brief demonstrations of different photography principles and techniques. Participants will then experiment with applying these lessons by taking photos around campus, coming together to share results and provide feedback to one another. This class is suitable for beginner to intermediate-level aspiring photographers using any type of smartphone. Each participant will need a cell phone to take photos. LIMIT 12
