Learn how to expertly capture images, edit, and create extraordinary photographs using solely your iPhone. Discover the best practices for photographing by understanding the tools and features built into the camera and digital darkroom that is always with you. The iPhone and constant emerging technology have spurred a remarkable shift in the field of photography: more pictures are being taken with iPhones than all other devices combined. This drastic increase in amateur photography has resulted in an influx of photo-editing software and techniques. 

Demonstrations will cover:

  • Best practices for how to take professional quality photos
  • Editing and enhance your iPhone photos using the Photos App
  • Learn to use easy editing techniques on your mobile device
  • Introduction to several Apps from the App Store
  • Accessories to expand your iPhoneography
  • Best practices for saving, organizing, sharing, and printing your images.

By the end of this workshop, you will understand the ins and outs of iPhone photography.

Please note: An iPhone 10S or newer is recommended, as is iOS 18 software.

Member Praise for iPhoneography

I was delighted with the breadth of information.

The content of the course was exactly what I was looking for. I learned so much.

Yoni was so organized and comfortable about staying on track while repeating information class members asked for. She was never rattled by any question, knew how to demonstrate use of tools she presented, and involved the class in individual submitted critiques of photos.
