Level up your photo skills—from smartphone snaps to DSLR magic!

What you’ll do:
Master the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO)
Use your phone camera like a pro—including tips for Android, iPhone, and top apps
Learn to shoot with a DSLR camera and explore lens effects
Edit your shots using Lightroom Classic to give your photos a professional polish

Whether you’re creating content for fun or thinking about a future in media, design, or photography, this workshop will help you build skills that matter—and create a photo portfolio you can be proud of.
Bring your own smart phone or borrow one of ours (Android based). You’ll borrow one of our Canon DSLR cameras during class.
