Want to take better photos — whether with your phone or a camera you haven’t used in a while? This laid-back, hands-on series of 3 classes is a great way to get creative and learn the basics of photography. You’ll explore how to see the world like a photographer, go on short photo walks, and try out easy techniques to improve your shots. You’ll get to practice every class, so bring a phone or camera you’re comfortable using, and wear shoes good for walking.

Instructor: Julia Kemmett

Monday July 21: Finding Inspiration & Composition Basics
Discover what inspires your eye through mood board creation and learn essential composition techniques such as rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing. Practice taking more thoughtful, balanced images during a photo walk.

Tuesday July 22: Exposure Basics & Tips for Portrait Photography
Learn how light, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO work together to create a well-exposed image—even on a phone. Then explore the art of photographing people with posing tips and natural lighting tricks, and practice portraits with classmates.
