A Deep Dive Into The iPhone Camera

An iPhone Camera Workshop Returns To Gualala Arts. “A Deep Dive Into The iPhone Camera” with instructors Susan and Neil Silverman is set for Saturday, June 10, 10 am to 4 pm. Registration is at Gualala Arts, The Dolphin Gallery, and online at EventBrite.com.

Taking photographs with the iPhone (or other non-Apple phones) has become ubiquitous in private and public life. It is so easy to take out your phone and grab that photo, but with a little knowledge and education, your photos can become more than casual snapshots. They can become thoughtful photographs for sharing, displaying, enjoying and remembering. This iPhone workshop is a great opportunity to fine-tune the photographer in each of us.

This workshop combines both discussion, demonstration and hands-on experience with the iPhone Camera**.

Part One, Getting Started: Gaining control over your camera with basic settings, compositional considerations.

Part Two, Diving Deeper: Controlling the camera for more control of exposure, focus, shutter speeds, choice of lenses

Part Three, Going All In: Panoramic, close up photography, portraits, filters, videos.

Part Four, Wrapping It Up: Artistic considerations, some great apps for fine tuning images and creativity

**All camera phones are welcome, but we will be demonstrating on an iPhone

The arrival of the phone cameras has brought photography to an all-new playing field.  Creating memories, art, visual adventures can now be experienced by the most in-experienced photographer.  We believe that quality dominates over quantity and by understanding both the technical choices and the artistic compositional elements will bring your iPhone photos to a “standing ovation”.  

As a husband-and-wife team, SUSAN AND NEIL SILVERMAN have been “captured” with photography for over 25 years – teaching, leading workshops and working professionally in many venues.

They have taught for the  Kelby Photo Conferences, Gualala Arts Center, Santa Rosa Junior College, Pacific Northwest Art School, Point Reyes Field Institute, Great American Photography Workshop (GAPW), and Better Photo, as well as many photo clubs and organizations. Their work has been published both nationally and internationally.  Sharing knowledge, experiences and camaraderie is as important as “getting the shot.”
