Begins May 17, Online

Skill Level: All

Class: $30 (Log in for membership discount prices)

Description:

You usually think of photography as “capturing reality” and photo editing as restoring a photo to match what your eyes saw. In this class you’ll put on your creative hats and think outside the box!

Using free or low-cost iPhone apps, and your photos as the starting point, you will let your imaginations run wild. You will transform every-day photos into creative riffs on reality or complete abstractions, using special effects from apps. The only limit is your imagination!

In the first session you will learn how to use the apps. In the second session, we will review your homework creations, and time permitting, learn other apps.

Prerequisites:
