** Please note this is a face-to-face event **

As an experienced professional photographer working for commercial businesses, I know exactly how important great photos are to successful marketing. But a lot of the time it's not practical or cost-effective to hire me. It is possible though to take better photos using the camera on your smartphone, and I can show you how.

In two hours you'll learn some of the ways that a professional photographer sees the world. I'll share how I approach taking a photo in different situations, what I'm trying to include in the image for maximum impact, and give you some practical tips on making the best of the camera and its settings. You'll learn things about light that you didn't know, and find out how to use it to maximum effect.

We'll start by meeting in a local cafe, chat a bit about the different qualities of light, then set off on a walk around selected parts of Altrincham to try out the techniques I'll teach you. During the two hours you'll realise that the camera on your smartphone can do a lot more than you think - and that you're a better photographer than you think you are!

Please note, this event is designed for smartphones only. If you're interested in improving your photography skills using a DSLR, mirrorless or bridge camera, I'll be running other walks aimed at them.
