Beginning Photography with Jamie Soja

Come learn about the basics of digital photography, using your cell phone or other cameras, from renowned photographer Jamie Soja. You will learn about composition, lighting, and settings to take a great photo. Jamie will show samples of his own work as well as other photographers and describe whey they are good photos. 

Toward the end of the class, Jamie will take everyone outside or in the library to test out what they have learned with feedback from Jamie. Jamie recommends downloading the free Adobe Lightroom Mobile App for cell phones before the class which will allow users to change the settings in a way similar to a standard DSLR camera.
