A brief overview of what we will be covering throughout this course.
Take three to five photos in one day during a simple adventure, then edit and share them. Explore leading lines, silhouettes, shadows, and depth of field to tell a story.
Let's start by learning the technical skills to better understand our cameras and how they work.
ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture make up the exposure triangle and understanding what the all are, will help you understand how to better use your camera.
Explore how lighting, contrast, and dynamic range shape mobile photography, and learn to push your camera's limits to capture detail in both highlights and shadows.
Explore how mobile flashes work on back and front cameras, using auto or on/off modes, and how external flashes like ring lights can fill dark scenes.
Master lighting techniques for iPhone photography by comparing direct sunlight and soft, diffused light at sunrise and sunset, and by using exposure to balance highlights and shadows.
Capture the moment with your iPhone, tell a story through thoughtful composition and lighting, and express emotion without bulky gear.
Explore how wide, mid, and telephoto lenses on mobile phones shape composition, foreground, and perspective to elevate landscape photos, with hands-on beach field examples.
Master mobile and iPhone photography lighting by learning to adjust exposure on bright sun, balance shadows for portraits, create silhouettes, and optimize indoor lighting for better selfies and scenes.
Learn long exposure photography with mobile and iPhone cameras, using three-second and ten-second exposures, with internal stabilization and tripod setups to capture moody moonlit scenes, wide-angle astrophotography, and star photography.
Learn to create a blurrier background on smartphones without portrait mode by adjusting distance: move the background away, get closer to the subject, and use telephoto lenses when possible.
Explore postproduction concepts in mobile photography, focusing on storage solutions and which editing apps to use to fine-tune images for the best results.
Learn how to store your mobile photos safely by backing up to the cloud and to a hard drive, with options to transfer locally via email or a local network.
Explore top mobile photo editing apps: Lightroom, Photostated, Snapp's It, and Vescio, for pro-level adjustments, presets, and seamless phone-to-desktop workflow plus built-in in-phone editing.
Learn to edit with Snapseed, a powerful, beginner-friendly Google app; apply selective editing, lens blur, double exposure, glamour glow, grainy film, and other creative tools to refine mobile photos.
Use a smartphone as a complete photography device to capture, edit, store, and post images across social platforms. Craft captions, stories, and hashtags to build a personal or brand presence.
Explore Lightroom presets in this bonus section to install and use packs that enhance iPhone and mobile photography, with monthly releases featuring styles from black-and-white to vintage and street grunge.
Apply the flat matte preset pack in Lightroom Classic and mobile. Use 11 presets (4 black-and-white, 7 color) and tweak exposure, color grading, and hue for a low-contrast, vintage look.
Explore preset pack 7 for black and white photography, offering flat to high-contrast styles that brighten brights and deepen darks, with downloadable access and encouragement to tag us on Instagram.
Presets tropical teals and oranges give a teal-driven vibe for nature and ocean scenes, available in member downloads and speeding up photography; not ideal for portraits due to skin tones.
Explore the cool blues preset pack for nature and night photography, from desaturated, flat vibes to ethereal blues that enhance water, sky, and city scenes.
We announce the 2023 photo contest winners across portrait, landscape, wildlife, street and architecture, and night and astrophotography categories, analyze standout images, and preview the print book and prizes.
