iPhone Photography Workshop (Group)
This field workshop, in the South Wonderland of Rocks (an iconic area in Joshua Tree National Park) covers how to make the best use of light, composition, and camera modes on the iPhone (including the features introduced from iOS 17) to shoot great landscape photographs.
Topics covered include:
When to use Photo, Portrait, or Pano modes.
Changing the aspect ratio of your photograph to suit your subject.
Changing the exposure of your photograph (to get more shadow detail or reduce highlights)
Use of filters (giving you more creative freedom)
Choosing the aperture to change depth field (for example, to blur a background)
There will be a mix of demonstrations on how to shoot landscapes with an iPhone, plus time for you to explore the different locations (old ranch ruins, three vintage vehicles, a stamp-mill, and a windmill) all of which are surrounded by the rocks and trees of Joshua Tree).
This workshop is open to any and all levels of photographer. The duration of a typical iPhone photography workshop will be approximately 3-4 hours and will include a break halfway through for a snack.

Why me?
I have a passion for the outdoors, hiking, and photography. For me, photography is about the overall experience and isn't just about the gear or capturing the image. My approach is to explore, experience, and create. I will help you discover new places and improve your photography at the same time.
(15-minute complimentary video call so you can ask questions and see whether the hike is right for you).
