Who is it for?
The webinar will be of particular interest to voluntary groups looking to take better photos to support and promote their work, but it is open to anyone in Cambridgeshire or Peterborough with an interest in this topic.
This workshop is suitable for both iPhone and Android users, and will explain how you can get the most out of your phone camera and photo editing.

– Focus & Exposure – Getting it right
– Framing & Composition – Creating depth and creating visually appealing, interesting images
– Storytelling – the importance of telling a story, for both accessibility and increased social media engagement
– Be Human – Bring your photos to life (without always having to include a face!)
– Editing and post-processing: An introduction to the in-built editing app on your phone to make your photos stand out, and guidance on other apps available if you would like to do even more.
