Live, smartphone photography workshop and photowalk and training in editing using Snapseed helping you create impressive images

Your smartphone camera is capable of making wonderful images

The trouble is people aren’t told how to get the best from it.

Are you dissatisfied with your images?
Would you like to be more inspired by what is in front of you?
Are you frustrated that others seem to take better images than you?

If so, this workshop is for you!

In a relaxed, informal group of no more than eight people, we start by learning the three key skills that will take your smartphone photography to the next level.

Then we head out to three great nearby locations for smartphone photography. (If the weather is bad we may do some indoor photography as well).

Next, we head back to base for a presentation on image editing. After a light lunch (included in the price of the workshop), you receive detailed training on how to use the Snapseed editing app. This app is free and available for both iOS and Android users.

Now it is time for you try out your new editing skills on your own images. Matt will guide you to ensure you achieve the best possible results. You have the chance to try a number of different editing styles. Finally, we share our images, receive feedback and celebrate what we have created!

Your tutor for the session is Matt Parker

Matt is an experienced photographer who has been creating smartphone images for many years. He has published four books of his work and his prints and cards are widely available.

Matt is a professional trainer and has studied brain friendly learning. He is on hand throughout the session to make sure that you receive tips, personal feedback and inspiration.

Two beautiful A5 art prints of your work are included

At the end of the session, you choose two of your images and Matt will create physical versions with art paper and archival inks, ready for framing. (These are delivered by post after the event.)

The details

Please bring your own smartphone – feel free to bring a tablet to edit on if this is easier for you.

The workshop takes place at Stone, Paper, Scissors, Unit 4, Tithebarn Workshops, Pound Lane, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire BA15 1LF.

The workshop involves some gentle walking. Please make sure you dress appropriately for the weather.

Access issues: disabled, parking can be arranged very near the venue if required. Please note that the walk is only suitable for off-road wheelchairs and that the toilets have a cobbled floor and are up two steps.

This workshop is subject to a minimum of four people booking.

Testimonials

Matt is a brilliant, inspiring and patient teacher. He clearly knows his subject and has a real enthusiasm for encouraging others. I had great fun during the workshop and have left feeling creatively excited about all the possibilities that my smartphone can bring, both photographically and in image-creation.

Thank you, Matt, for an enjoyable and interesting day. It was well planned out and in a small group, it was easy to learn. You were very open to questions and adapting to the skill and interests of everyone on the course.

The relaxed atmosphere really helped in not feeling like a photography newbie and knowing that anyone can take great photos without having to know all the ins and outs of photography. It's a great introduction to taking proper photos with your smart phone.

More Testimonials

I gained a much better understanding of photography and I really enjoyed the idea of storytelling. I haven’t ever really engaged with photographs in this way before – seeing them more as just snaps – so literally my eyes have been opened! You are very good teacher and dealt with all my questions very patiently!

Valerie J

I really liked your themes and exercises on the photo locations. It gave me a starting point but also helped seeing my environment with different eyes hunting around for some good shots. I learned a lot in a short time and didn't realise how quickly it went. I'm already using what I learnt and it has become second nature.

"I loved this workshop. Matt is a brilliant, inspiring and patient teacher. I’m one of those who gets frustrated that struggled to take the pictures I can see in my mind. Matt talked us through some key tools and approaches to help and when putting these into practice, he provided guidance, pointers and encouragement. Over the course of just one morning, I was able to see definite improvements in how I take photographs which made me very happy. The afternoon was my first attempt at editing photographs and it was so much fun! Matt explained the various options to give us some confidence and then encouraged us to play, offering opinions when useful. The range of pictures we created as a group was lovely to see. Matt answered lots of questions from us all and clearly knows his subject and really loves to share it with others. I came away with a lot of ideas and renewed energy around taking photographs and knowing how to practise the tools to create some really interesting images – lots of playtime ahead! Thanks Matt – I will definitely be back for more."

I was lucky enough to attend a workshop with Matt and learned so much. Matt is an excellent tutor and presented the information in a clear and accessible way. He encouraged us to use our mobile phone cameras to take pictures that went deeper than the usual quick snaps. I took a photo that I really love which I had printed and have hung on the wall at home. I highly recommend this training if you want to explore better mobile phone photography.

Elaine S

For someone whose main ideas of photos previously had been a recorder of family events, the course was an eye opener.

The main attraction, however, is Matt's experience and ability to put this across. Matt has an excellent portfolio to illustrate his ideas and is a clear communicator in getting this across.

Very highly recommended.

Richard D

Matt’s photography training simplified the photography process. He inspired me to be much more creative, seeing photographic possibilities in a whole range of subjects. I’d really recommend one of his workshops.
