Phone Photography

Your best camera might already be in your pocket!

Whether you're capturing family moments, spectacular landscapes, your favourite meal or everyday memories, this helpful, hands-on workshop will help you take photos that really stand out.

Discover the hidden potential of your smartphone camera as you explore its settings, features and simple photography techniques that can make a big difference. You'll learn how to compose eye-catching shots, make the most of light, and capture images you'll be excited to keep and share.

We'll also touch on easy in-camera editing tools, popular photo editing apps and practical ways to store and organise your growing photo collection.

Perfect for anyone who wants to get more from the camera they carry every day. 

No photography experience is needed, just bring your smartphone with you to the Event Space in the library.

Facilitated by photographer Deji Oyebamiji.
