In week one, Nathan covers composition using the rule of thirds, leading lines, framing, symmetry and pattern. You’ll delve into lighting with camera tips such as adjusting exposure, depth of field and portrait mode. Understanding the potential of phone lenses, aperture, shutter speed and ISO give you that extra confidence.

Your third week features a review and analysis of your field trip photos. Group discussion of strengths and areas for improvement allows you to learn from each other’s work. Additional tips, techniques and a Q&A round out this informative evening.

Our fourth week focus is post-processing and review. Basic editing techniques such as cropping, exposure & color correction will be taught. Nathan shares his favorite editing apps and filters and how to use them to further enhance your skills.
