Week 2 ~ Smartphone Photography
In this summer camp we will explore Smartphone Photography. When you don’t have awesome camera equipment or editing power to create a great shot, you have to go back to basics: Composition. We will focus more on the lines, the placement of your subject. As we introduce the topics of lighting and colour, you will enhance the aesthetics of the photos you take. We will also try out a whole suite of lenses specifically designed for smartphone photography, including fish-eye and macro lenses.
Through out the course, we will look at different Manual Camera Apps as well as photo-editing Apps to help you improve the quality of your photos. In order to became a better visual storyteller, students will be encouraged to experiment with a variety of photography ideas, and eventually using their photos to tell their stories.
Please be notified that photography excursions will also be included. Let’s get out there and capture summer time. You will see the world with a brand new perspective.
