Here's a class** about taking your phone camera photography to new heights. Pro photographers John and Lisa Merrill start this workshop with an interactive presentation in Northwind Art's classroom; then you’ll learn about your smartphone’s powerful features (including portrait mode, burst mode for action and panorama mode for stunning landscapes and seascapes) along with apps and accessories to extend its capabilities and nourish your creativity. John and Lisa will also share tips to help you organize photos on your phone, optimize your favorites, and combine them into compelling visual stories (and photo products) to share. After a lunch break you’ll have a chance to apply what you learned and nurture your creativity in Port Townsend and Fort Worden. Possible subjects include landscapes and seascapes, nature’s intricate patterns, boats and nautical details, architecture, and people at work or play. We’ll explore using apps to make impressionist photos with creative blur and added textures. A week following the class, our group will reconvene over Zoom to share images, give and get supportive feedback, and be inspired by what others created.
** This class has three sessions: 9 AM-12 noon and 3-8 PM Sept. 12, and finally the 1-hour Zoom get-together at 4 PM Sept. 18.
This class can be combined with the Merrills' Beyond the Postcard Shot: Evocative Travel Photography class on Sept. 11 into a two-day deep immersion into photography in Port Townsend. Both classes are found at NorthwindArt.org.
