Most of us carry cameras nearly every minute of every day without even realizing it.

Smartphones are powerful picture-taking tools thanks to their fantastic cameras, and it only takes a little bit of time and attention to produce amazing images. Join professional photographer Drew Tolbert for a crash course in getting the most out of your phone’s camera. You’ll learn top tips and tricks during an online orientation, spend a morning in the Gardens practicing what you’ve learned, and then reconvene online to review and discuss your work.
