A relaxed and informative zoom workshop with Jo Bradford, Author of the best-selling book “Smart Phone Smart Photography - Simple techniques for taking incredible pictures with iPhone and Android”. Both Apple and Android users will be offered plenty of opportunity to work on their photography while getting advice from Jo about composition, framing and the theory of what makes a good photograph.
Discover the best of the tried and tested gadgets and apps in Jo’s professional tool kit to improve your smart phone photography.
This inspirational course is low on jargon, taught in Jo’s characteristic informal approach. Covering both practical hands on work and with some essential photo theory as it applies to smart phones, the aim of the day is to have fun while you learn.
The whole course is designed to give you the skillset and know-how you will need to get out there and start releasing the creative potential of your device, ensuring you can capture those fleeting moments every time.
This workshop will begin with a short introductory session, followed by some practical exercises to make sure everyone is familiar with their camera functions and to give them some inspiration to unleash their creativity. There will be plenty of opportunities for 1:1 advice and feedback as you progress through the day. The day will be concluded with a group discussion and a slideshow of the works produced by the attendees including a feedback session with Jo.

Reviews for Jo’s previous sell out RPS workshops….
“I have had a great deal of feedback from the RPS members who attended the workshops and suffice to say it was a great hit with them. Many said that they were sceptical about using their phones for photography, but they were completely converted after Jo’s sessions. Without exception everyone admitted to learning a great deal.
