You do not need high-quality equipment and expensive editing software to take good photos. Thanks to Android and iPhone smartphones, the only tool we need to take, edit, and distribute vibrant photos can fit inside our handbags, backpacks, and back pockets.
But how can we maximize the photo and editing applications built into our smartphones? How can we combine fundamental photography skills with new technology to produce beautiful pictures of family, friends, surrounding landscapes, animals, items, and even ourselves? In what ways are Androids and iPhones different when it comes to their cameras, lenses, editing software, and photo storing capabilities? And how can we actually organize, store, and share photos once we’ve taken and edited them?
To tackle these questions, look no further than the 24-lesson course The Complete Guide to Smartphone Photography, an educational and interactive experience focused on exploring the ins and outs of using smartphones for taking, tweaking, and sharing photos. Designed for any smartphone user interested in taking photos, this course does not require previous photography or editing experience.
