Rad Drew began creating infrared photos in 2019 with the iPhone 11 Pro Max. With the right accessories, apps, and processing, it's possible to create engaging, dynamic infrared photos with the iPhone. Join Rad as he shares the accessories needed, and favourite camera apps, and demonstrated his post processing workflow for crafting iPhone infrared photos.

Join us for this in depth look at how to critique images. The emphasis will be on assessing your own images thoroughly, but we’ll also look at how to give helpful feedback to others, and how to receive and use the feedback you may receive from your fellow photographers. After the presentation, a useful written checklist will be provided.

Judy’s photographic work has been exhibited in Canada, the US, and Europe. She’s an award winning photographer and lifelong educator who loves to coach and mentor others.
