Turn your ordinary snapshots into extraordinary photographs using the power of the device that is always with you. Smartphones are the most important camera of our age, used for capturing everything from family events to products for business, making art, and documenting current events. In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to expertly capture images, edit them, and create photographs with your iPhone. You will gain inspiration and find your creative vision by discovering your style and expanding your technical knowledge in the field of iPhoneography. We will start by using the built-in Photos app to edit and enhance iPhone photos, and we will discuss tips for optimizing the features and working around the limitations of the native (built-in) camera. We will then see demonstrations and learn the details of several third-party editing and creative applications, as well as helpful accessories for enhancing and embellishing iPhone images. Finally, we'll review best practices for saving, organizing, sharing, and printing your images.

This course is open to students of all skill levels. An iPhone 11 or newer is recommended; however, all models of iPhones are welcome. Portrait mode with Depth Effects and some features demonstrated in the course are available only for iPhone SE (2nd & 3rd generations, iPhone Air, and the 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 series. Most of the content will be applicable to every model. Students can expect to spend up to $40 on apps, depending on which apps they choose (all optional). Free apps will be reviewed; accessories demonstrated are optional purchases.
