Take beautiful images & video with you phone
A workshop with photographer Andrea Gilpin www.andreagilpinphotography.com
This one-day, hands-on workshop is for anyone who wants to feel more confident creating beautiful, professional-looking images (and videos) using their phone — whether you’re photographing products, food, gardens, artwork, or behind-the-scenes moments.
During the day, we will:
- Learn about different types of light and how to work with them effectively
- Practice a wide range of composition techniques to create stronger images
- Experiment with backdrops, lighting, composition, and simple props to tell a visual story
- Understand when and how to use artificial light, diffusers, and reflectors
- Use easy-to-follow editing apps to refine and polish our images
This workshop is suitable for all phone cameras, no matter the model. You’ll also receive printed workshop handouts covering the key concepts, so you can continue practicing after the day ends.
