As they say, “the best camera in the world is the one that’s in your pocket.” In this workshop students learn how to best use their iPhone’s camera app to elevate their photos from casual snapshots to frame-worthy personal images using only an iPhone. We’ll cover all the different modes of capturing images: manual settings like aperture, shutter speed, and more — and how to best use all of your lenses, and the many different options available before pressing the shutter. This Mini-workshop is appropriate for artists, journalists, and others who need to maximize the quality of their iPhone photography.

Mini-Workshops may have higher enrollment than our other classes.
 
I loved Néstor's class, and in general found that he created a welcoming and supportive course, with lots of great practical advice about our projects. I also appreciated the pace. I find lately that I want to dive deep, and for his class it was helpful to focus on one or two images. And his feedback helped me focus on refining a couple of ideas.

Néstor’s class was amazing. His presentations thoroughly captured the range of styles of still life photography and I think he was incredibly thoughtful with his critiques. I really enjoyed the class and am inspired to keep going!
