    Android Phone Photography


    Instructor: Gene Komaromi

    Location: Large Classroom

    Date/Time: Tues Jan 20 @ 10am


    We all carry smartphones with us, and most modern Android phones boast powerful cameras capable of shooting beautiful photos. However, no camera can take great photos alone, and the photographer needs to know what they're doing to a certain extent to get the best results from the incredible technology. Many smartphone owners are amateurs when it comes to photography and just point and shoot subjects without really thinking about what they're doing, and this can lead to disappointing results. However, thankfully, there are plenty of techniques all Android users can learn to improve the photos they take with their mobile device.

    Join Gene in our “Android Phones As A Camera” class, and you’ll learn tips on using your Android phone like a DSLR. You will learn about the best camera applications and settings, and how to compose your shots for maximum impact.

    We look forward to seeing you!
