Beyond the Obvious: Using Smartphone Photography to See Things Differently 

Photographer Ginny Koppenhol, helps you to look beyond the obvious. 

Using your smartphone camera, Ginny offers tips and techniques to capture quirky details, create experimental images, and celebrate the subjects you're drawn to as you explore around Glossop. 

Covering photography fundamentals, editing techniques and plenty of playful tasks, this is a practical, mood-boosting session. 
The session is suitable for beginners, but even if you have experience, you'll come away with creative new ideas to try, as well as a mini-print of your favourite photo from the day.  

The workshop will include: 

- smartphone photography fundamentals such as composition, focus and lighting 

- editing skills (using a free app called Snapseed) Please download the app in advance of the workshop.

- creative ideas and techniques 

The workshops are centred on the use of smartphone cameras and apps, to make the sessions as inclusive as possible. 

A mixture of outdoor and indoor activities please dress appropriately as some of this workshop will be outside.

You don’t need any pre-requisite experience but it's a good idea to know how your phone works.

" Ginny's workshop was pitched so well. It created lots of 'ooh' and 'aah' moments as we picked up lots of new tips and tricks. Thanks for being so encouraging, prepared, informative, flexible, engaging, inspiring, and a delight to be with. It was a great day".
