Class Description

Description

What if your smartphone could do more than capture a holiday snapshot?

Join us for a festive exploration of photography around the National Gallery of Art. As you wander among beautifully decorated spaces, you’ll learn to spot unusual compositions, playful details, dramatic light, and unexpected moments hiding in plain sight.

Rather than worrying about what your phone can’t do, you’ll learn to turn its limitations into creative opportunities. Experiment with focus, exposure, composition, perspective, and apps to create photographs that are expressive, surprising, and distinctly your own.

Join us for this relaxed, hands-on photo walk with plenty of time to explore and experiment, combined with practical instruction and encouraging critique.

No fancy camera required. Just your smartphone, your imagination, and a willingness to see the holidays differently.
