CFA Learn: iPhone Photography Session

Your iPhone is smart, but it’s not a photographer. In this class, we’ll take back control by learning a few small techniques that make a big difference: how to frame a shot, where to stand, when to tap, and how to use light on purpose. You’ll walk away taking photos that actually feel like what you saw. 

And with the 10th and final Abilene Gives soon approaching, this class will help participants think creatively about photography for their giving day campaigns.

This session is on Wednesday, March 25, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Grain Theory (202 Pine St, Ste 201). 

The session will include a 30-minute lunch break and a photo exercise walking to nearby downtown locations. This workshop requires a paid ticket. Registration includes presentation material and a participant's meal.
