Creative Smartphone Photography

---

Join us and discover how to use your smartphone to take beautiful images in the gardens of RHS Hyde Hall. Learn techniques to capture everyday moments and studio-quality photos alike, with the camera you always have on you. You will be guided to create your best images of the summer garden using viewpoint, composition, and natural light. You will also experiment with your phone’s camera settings, edit your images on your phone and save for social media. There will be a short classroom presentation followed by practical learning out in the gardens. No previous experience is required for this workshop.
 
Tutor: Marion Sidebottom is a nature-based photographer and artist who uses plants in much of her work. She has also been awarded a number of RHS medals for her work and is a brilliant teacher to guide you through this creative session.
