Have you ever wondered how artists on social media create such impressive photos of their artwork—sometimes in what looks like a professionally designed room?

What if I told you that all you need to do to create these images is a smartphone and a little knowledge and practice! In this workshop, learn how to stage, shoot, edit, and post better photos of your art all using a smart phone camera and a free phone app.


​In this workshop, you'll learn how to:
  • Develop a basic understanding of some simple and basic photography concepts.
  • Use composition, light, background, and angle to create high quality images straight from the camera. 
  • Use the various photo editing tools available on your smartphone and in the Lightroom mobile app to make small adjustments that can significantly enhance your photos. 
  • Beautifully edit photos with the Artrooms and Voun mobile apps and digitally 'stage' your artwork in different frames or interior rooms.
You'll walk away with the knowledge and experience to stage and take better photos with a smartphone and edit photos using free mobile apps to improve your photos.

Supplies:
  • Your smartphone
  • Adobe Lightroom mobile app (free)
