MASTERING iPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY is a unique 6 hour 2-part presentation covering art, expression, the essential aspects of digital photography fundamentals as well as a short overview of available equipment and software. Since there are many differences in camera operating systems and available software apps, this workshop will concentrate on our use of iPhones for photography, while providing lists of available resources and apps for Android users; the discussion of digital photography fundamentals is applicable to all cameras.
Part 1 of the seminar focuses on developing a basic understanding of photography fundamentals and discusses the limits of phone cameras. It reviews the variables that affect the photo and how to control them in order to achieve the desired selective focus, depth of field, highlights, etc., with your phone camera and provides an overview of available tools such as phone grips, small tripods and external lighting.
Part 2 of the presentation will take the participant on a journey of how to select unusual images and avoid common stereotypes via real examples covering landscapes, cityscapes, street scenes, wildlife and florals, spanning the use of internal and add-on lenses and filters. The emphasis will be on how to express an artist’s vision through composition and principles discussed in Part 1.
Presenters: The workshop is led by Wolf & Linnea Koch, an unlikely collaboration since Linnea is an artist who has worked in the visual arts field for over 40 years, while Wolf is a practicing engineer, former part-time educator and seasoned photographer. Linnea accompanies him on many of his business trips throughout the country and Europe; together, they visit and photograph local landmarks, flora and fauna, historical sites and notable gardens.
