Ready to take better photos with your phone? This hands-on workshop will show you how to make the most of your camera settings, from focus and exposure to HDR and portrait mode, while introducing simple composition techniques like the rule of thirds, leading lines, and creative framing.

We’ll also explore how lighting, perspective, and depth can turn everyday moments into striking images. No photography experience is needed, and all participants will receive a pocket-sized field guide to take with them for ongoing inspiration and tips. Whether you're shooting your surroundings or snapping portraits, you'll leave with practical tools to help your photos truly wow. Additionally, participants will be invited to submit images from this workshop to be included in a future exhibition at the Meadville Public Library.
